After nearly 3 decades of agony and a go-for-it playoff run in 2020 that never happened, Chicoutimi is hoping to hoist junior hockey's biggest prize for the first time ever. Sagueneens goaltender and Ottawa Senators prospect Lucas Beckman, acquired mid-season from Baie-Comeau, is catching fire at the perfect time for this resilient squad. This year's Memorial Cup hosts are the WHL's Kelowna Rockets, who improved by 20 wins to make the playoffs. That brings us to the Everett Silvertips, who have claimed their first-ever WHL championship and their first Memorial Cup berth. They are spearheaded by defenseman Landon DuPont, an Exceptional Status talent who is likely to go 1st overall at next year's NHL Draft. And finally, you have the kings of the OHL, as the storied Kitchener Rangers try to win their first Memorial Cup in 23 years. Technical producer Stephen Ellsworth joins Andrew Pinsent on CFRA Weekends.
