London Knights redeem themselves with Memorial Cup crown
Article content They finally wrote their storybook ending. Article content Article content The London Knights converted last year's Memorial Cup heartbreak into the ultimate comeback tale by scoring the game's first four goals in a 4-1 victory over Medicine Hat to claim the Canadian Hockey League's biggest prize before 4,512 on Sunday at Sun Life Financial Coliseum. They shrugged off an early push from the well-rested and previously unbeaten Tigers, then held them off during a furious finish. You need your best players to rise to the occasion and, after a dud a year ago at Saginaw, got that and more here in Rimouski. Article content The OHL champs won their record-tying third Cup title in their fifth trip to the final in the past 20 years. Dale Hunter equalled Don Hay as the only two coaches with three CHL crowns. Article content The Knights were ready for anything. They didn't let any missed call or lapse in momentum bother them. They were the best team in junior hockey this year and proved it when it mattered most. Article content 'It's a tough tournament,' said London defenceman Sam Dickinson, who earned three assists in the final. 'It's one game. You never know what can happen going into it. I think of last year and how the game went from the flat start to the comeback to 22 seconds left. You can't have any idea of what's going to happen out there.' Article content The Tigers' best player, Gavin McKenna, got the Western champs on the board in the third period. But a second goal by the wunderkind was called back because of a missed high stick with 5:30 left in regulation. Article content It was a break for the Knights and they shut it down from there. Article content Hunter reunited Easton Cowan and Denver Barkey and it turned into a master stroke. Article content Article content Barkey scored twice in the decisive second period and Cowan had another and was named tournament MVP as London built the four-goal lead. Cowan should have had two, as well, in the middle frame but one was snuffed out on a goalie interference call against linemate Sam O'Reilly. Article content The foundation of the Knights' three-year run of success started with the drafting of Barkey, Cowan and Oliver Bonk in 2021. Once they added Dickinson to the mix the following season, they were on their way. Article content London goaltender Austin Elliott's final won-loss record? He was 55-3 in his last junior season. We won't see that again for a long time, if ever … Cowan entered the final one point shy of his childhood idol Mitch Marner's franchise record 15 points in Cup play and matched it in the second period … Londoner Jacob Julien, the Jets prospect, played his best hockey of the season at this tournament, opening the scoring on a nifty deke … Earlier in the day, Medicine Hat star defenceman Tanner Molendyk described London as the best team he had faced all year. 'They have a lot of skill but when a team works hard and has skill, it's one of the hardest things to beat,' the Nashville Predators first-rounder said. He felt it and the rest of the hockey world saw it up close this week.

B.C. Premier David Eby walks with then-Federal Minister of Emergency Preparedness Harjit Sajjan as they meet with officials at the incident command post in West Kelowna, B.C., on Tuesday, August 22, 2023. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Chad Hipolito The British Columbia regional district where a wildfire continues to burn out of control has extended its emergency support services to residents evacuated from the blaze. The Peace River Regional District says emergency support services for the Kelly Lake area have been extended by seven days to June 8 'out of an abundance of caution based on recommendations from BC Wildfire Service due to uncertain fire conditions.' Nearby, the Kiskatinaw River wildfire continues to burn out of control, although the wildfire service says Sunday that its area has fallen to about 30 square kilometres, down from 46 square kilometres on Friday. About 70 people living in the area have been ordered to evacuate from their homes. The regional district says those who are in need of lodging, food or supply referrals should go in-person to the emergency support services centre in Dawson Creek. Overall, there are about 60 active wildfires in British Columbia as of Sunday, with the vast majority located in the province's northeast where some of B.C.'s worst drought conditions are situated.
