Oshawa Generals 2 – Kelowna Rockets 1 (OT) It was an excellent night of hockey and aside from a Ramparts Memorial Cup win the best way to send off the Pepsi Colisée which saw its last major hockey game in its long history is it will finally close it’s doors as the brand new Videotron Centre […]

Kelowna Rockets 9 – Quebec Ramparts 3 Playing their 3rd game in as many nights proved to be too much for the Ramparts as they faced a team in the Rockets that had been resting while they were playing. In many ways Quebec only has themselves to blame, losing the final game in the round […]

Quebec Ramparts 5 – Rimouski Oceanic 2 The Quebec Ramparts finally solved the Oceanic in the first elimination game of the MasterCard Memorial Cup. The two teams were very familiar with each other at this point playing their 18th game against each going back to the regular season. This was a nice bit of revenge […]

The Sharks made their official announcement today naming Peter DeBoer as their new head coach. Now I obviously with any move there is often a split in the fan base of those who approve and those who do not. My personal take is that DeBoer got more out his teams than he should have on […]

The MasterCard Memorial Cup kicks off tonight at 730 PM. eastern time, featuring a battle between the host team and QMJHL runner up in the Quebec Ramparts vs. WHL champion Kelowna Rockets. I think this will be a great contest between teams that can both put the puck in the net often. I’m also interested […]

Even though they had a guaranteed ticket to the MasterCard Memorial as the host city regardless of playoff performance the Quebec Ramparts were all in, they got a bit of a scare in the first round going to a 7th game before rolling through the next rounds with ease. Finally facing what many thought was the […]

Although simply making it to the finals of the QMJHL playoffs guaranteed them a birth in the MasterCard Memorial Cup they ended up needing all 7 games and overtime to overcome the host Quebec Ramparts to win the Presidents Cup in what was a series of mostly close games. Instead of just being there by […]

The Erie Otters entered the OHL Finals on the back of Connor McDavid’s 42 points in 15 games and getting by a very deep Soo Greyhounds team and frankly looked unstoppable. The Oshawa Generals would allow McDavid to only get 7 more points in 5 games to win the J. Ross Robertson Cup and punch […]

The Kelowna Rockets defeated the Brandon Wheat Kings in a 4 game sweep to win the Ed Chynoweth Cup as the champions of the Western Hockey League and earned the right to play for the MasterCard Memorial Cup in Quebec City. Personally I thought this was going to be a much closer city as the […]
