Tigers strike late to defeat Rimouski 5-4 in Memorial Cup opener
The Medicine Hat Tigers won their opening game at the 2025 Memorial Cup Friday, defeating Rimouski 5-4. The Medicine Hat Tigers struck first at the Memorial Cup, defeating the Rimouski Oceanic 5-4 Friday night. Hunter St. Martin scored late in the third to provide the margin of victory. Ryder Ritchie opened the scoring for the Tigers a little more than halfway through the first period. Alexandre Blais scored late in the first to tie it at a goal apiece. Midway through the middle frame, Mael St-Denis scored to take a 2-1 lead before Bryce Pickford scored late to tie it up. Pickford has set a CHL record (modern era) for defencemen, scoring goals in in nine straight games. Jacob Mathieu tipped in a shot to give Rimouski a 3-2 lead, but Pickford scored again to tie it at three apiece. Gavin McKenna scored in the third to give the Tigers a 4-3 lead, but Rimouski got a power play goal from Jonathan Fauchon scored to tie it up again. That set the stage for St. Martin, who tipped home a centering pass from Tanner Molendyk to give Medicine Hat the win – on the 18th anniversary of their last Memorial Cup win. Harrison Meneghin stopped 20 shots for Medicine Hat to pick up the victory. Next up for the Tigers is a Monday matchup with QMJHL champion Moncton Wildcats. Puck drop is scheduled for 5 p.m.
