Clarkson's Farm: Harriet responds to 'awkward' Kaleb Cooper
Cooper has been Jeremy Clarkson's right-hand man since the show first hit screens in 2021. He was instantly a hit with fans, but now appears to have been 'replaced'. Cowan was introduced as the temporary replacement of farm manager Cooper on Diddly Farm. The full-time nurse, who recently urged viewers to 'be kind' following her appearance on the show, was recruited due to Cooper's professional commitments elsewhere. The newly minted millionaire is busy touring a one-man show after finding fame on the Prime Video series. Just started #ClarksonsFarm4 and Harriet is an instant hit with me. I'm sorry but Kaleb might have to start looking for new employment lol Fans of the show couldn't help but notice Cooper appeared rather unimpressed with Cowan upon their introduction when he returned to the Oxfordshire location. Jeremy Clarkson himself pointed out that Cooper needed to be kind to Cowan, telling him: 'Right, now, that's Harriet. Now be nice – behave.' Cooper then stood watching Cowan in silence as she worked, sarcastically questioning her farming skills, with Clarkson chiding him for his attitude. Recommended reading: Cowan has now assured viewers that she gets on with Cooper, and said that they have even become friends away from the cameras. During an appearance on BBC Derby, Cowan, who has a big following on TikTok, said: 'Kaleb's amazing. Me and him are so close now. He's such a good farmer and we got on really well.' She continued: 'He's another farmer to add to my phone list to ring. Everyone checks in to make sure everyone's fine.'

Maple Leafs need to keep Easton Cowan and give him a legitimate shot
If Brad Treliving feels the urge to include Easton Cowan in a trade this summer, the Maple Leafs general manager should resist it. Strongly. The Leafs have to have some sort of hope for the future in regard to their prospects at forward, don't they? The cold reality is that Cowan, fresh off being named the most valuable player in the 2025 Memorial Cup after the London Knights beat the Medicine Hat Tigers in the final in Rimouski, Que., on Sunday night, stands alone in Toronto's prospect pool. The date of March 7 was pivotal for the Leafs as it related to its group of youngsters who could one day play in the National Hockey League. At the trade deadline, Treliving included centre Fraser Minten in a swap with the Boston Bruins to get defenceman Brandon Carlo and, when he acquired forward Scott Laughton from the Philadelphia Flyers, winger Nikita Grebenkin was part of the package that went to Philly. With Minten and Grebenkin gone, there's quite a drop from Cowan to the next forwards who the Leafs might look to one day to make an impact. But as for the group that includes Jacob Quillan, Miroslav Holinka, Nick Moldenhauer, Joe Miller and Roni Hirvonen, it might be a stretch to assume that any of them will one day become full-time Leafs. It's too early to say what Luke Haymes and Ryan Kirwan, both signed out of college this past year, could eventually provide. Cowan easily is the best of the bunch. What kind of NHL player the 20-year-old eventually develops into is to be determined, yet how can there not be a solid foundation of optimism for someone who has been dominant in the past two Ontario Hockey League seasons? At his end-of-season media availability last week, Treliving made the comment that 'champions have the ability to be calm and at their very best when it matters the most.' It was in reference to the Florida Panthers and Treliving acknowledged that the Leafs have to find improvement in that regard (no kidding). The gap between major junior hockey to the NHL undoubtedly is significant. Still, the fact that Cowan, with the Knights, fits Treliving's champion thoughts to a T has to be a source of encouragement for the organization as a whole. A year ago, Cowan was named the OHL playoffs MVP and then led the Memorial Cup in scoring, though London lost in the Cup final against the host Saginaw Spirit. This year, Cowan led the OHL in playoff scoring, leading London to a five-game win against the Oshawa Generals in the final, and led the Memorial Cup in scoring on the way to being named tournament MVP. With what Cowan has accomplished, there has been a comparison made to what Mitch Marner did with the Knights in the mid-2010s. Nine years ago, Marner was named the Memorial Cup MVP after London won the 2016 event in Red Deer, Alta., with an overtime victory against the Rouyn-Noranda Huskies. That was after Marner led the OHL playoffs in scoring as London went 16-2 in the post-season, sweeping Niagara in the final. The difference — and it's not a small one — is that Marner did what he did a year ahead of Cowan. Marner turned 19 during the 2015 OHL playoffs. Cowan had his 20th birthday on May 20, three days before the Memorial Cup started. Marner's future isn't known, but that's only because no one can say with certainty where he will sign on July 1. What seems to be accepted, though we suppose that no door should be completely shut, is that it won't be with Toronto. As of now, the Leafs don't have a first-round pick in each of the next three years. It's true that to help fill the void that would result in Marner's departure, free agency alone won't get it done. Treliving is going to have to leave no stone unturned when investigating potential trades. And it's also true that, outside of Cowan and Matthew Knies, there aren't many young forwards (apologies to Nick Robertson) that other teams might insist to include in a trade. A look at Brad Treliving's work two years into his tenure as Maple Leafs GM London Knights redeem themselves with Memorial Cup crown Obviously, including Knies in a deal is not an option. Similar thinking should apply to Cowan. Once the Leafs get through training camp and the pre-season in September and October, they should have a firm idea of where Cowan slots into the lineup. He has the potential to one day be a difference-maker in the NHL. At the least, Cowan should get that opportunity with Toronto. Marner and Leafs captain Auston Matthews got some Selke Trophy love, following the pattern that has played out in the past several years. The Panthers' Aleksander Barkov was announced as the winner on Monday of the Selke, awarded to the best defensive forward in the NHL, finishing ahead of teammate Sam Reinhart and the Tampa Bay Lightning's Anthony Cirelli. Marner was seventh in voting by the Professional Hockey Writers' Association, marking his third top-10 finish in five years. Marner came closest to winning the Selke in 2022-23 when he was third in voting. Matthews was 14th in voting, marking the fourth time in four years he has finished in the top 15. In 2023-24, Matthews was third in voting for his best placing to date. tkoshan@ X: @koshtorontosun

London Knights win 2025 Memorial Cup championship
For the third time in their history the London Knights are Memorial Cup champions. Team captain Denver Barkey scored twice and defenceman Sam Dickinson recorded three assists and goaltender Austin Elliott stopped 31 shots as London downed the Medicine Hat Tigers 4-1 on June 1, 2025 at Le Colisee Financiere Sun Life. With the victory the Knights joined the Cornwall Royals, the Kamloops Blazers and the Windsor Spitfires as the only teams to hoist the Memorial Cup since 1972 when the championship moved to a tournament format. Neither team sat back to begin the game. Through ten minutes and five seconds of the first period the clubs had combined for 19 shots. Not long after that a puck crossed the goal line as Henry Brzustewicz took a pass from Sam Dickinson and fired a puck forward to the Medicine Hat blue line right on the tape of Jacob Julien who skated in alone and went to the backhand on Harrison Meneghin of the Tigers for his second goal of the tournament to give London a 1-0 lead.

Meneghin lost his stick and Sam O'Reilly found Cowan going to the net and the Mt. Brydges, Ont., native scored to become the all-time Knights leading scorer in the Memorial Cup tournament with his 15th point in his ninth game. Mitch Marner had 14 points in four games in 2016. Cowan's goal came at 3:13 and Dickinson picked up the second assist. At 4:53 Barkey and Dickinson and combined to knock a puck away at the London blue line and Barkey raced down the ice on a breakaway and put the puck between the legs of Meneghin for his second goal in two games at the tournament to give London a 3-0 advantage. The Knights thought they had gone ahead 4-0 when O'Reilly fed Cowan a second time in the slot but it was ruled that O'Reilly had made contact with Meneghin's arm as he rounded behind the net befdore feeding a pass in front and the goal was disallowed. London did get their fourth goal on a power play as Barkey blocked a Medicine Hat clearing attempt on the right side and wristed a puck through bodies in front and into the Tigers net. Story continues below advertisement Gavin McKenna scored Medicine Hat's goal at 2:43 of the third period and put another puck into the net late in the game only to have the goal disallowed when a review showed that the puck had hit a high stick before it got to McKenna. The Tigers outshot the Knights 32-24. Cowan was named tournament MVP after leading the tournament in scoring for the second consecutive year. London was 1-for-2 on the power play. Medicine Hat was 0-for-2. Four former London Knights Memorial Cup champions in Stanley Cup final There were 26 former London Knights on the opening night rosters of National Hockey League teams. Four of those players have made it to the Stanley Cup Final which begins on Wednesday, June 4 as the Edmonton Oilers face the Florida Panthers for the second year in a row. Matthew Tkachuk was a rather large key to London's Memorial Cup championship team in 2016 and is after his second consecutive Stanley Cup title after the Panthers edged the Oilers in seven games in 2024. Edmonton returns Corey Perry and Evan Bouchard from last year and they have also added Max Jones. Jones and Bouchard were also on the 2016 championship team. Perry helped the Knights to win their first Memorial Cup crown in 2005.

Knights capture third Memorial Cup title with dominant 4-1 win over Tigers
RIMOUSKI - The London Knights are Memorial Cup champions for a third time. Denver Barkey scored twice, Sam Dickinson had three assists and Austin Elliott made 31 saves in a dominant 4-1 victory over the Medicine Hat Tigers in the championship game Sunday. Jacob Julien and Easton Cowan also scored for London, which also won in 2005 and 2016. Cowan, with seven points, became the first player since 1972 to lead the tournament in scoring for consecutive years. Barkey also had seven this year. The Toronto Maple Leafs prospect also tied Mitch Marner for the most Memorial Cup points in franchise history with 15 in nine games. The back-to-back Ontario Hockey League champions redeemed last year's heartbreaking 4-3 loss to the Saginaw Spirit in the final. The Spirit scored with 22 seconds remaining to win the trophy on home ice. Gavin McKenna — the projected top choice in next year's NHL draft — replied for Medicine Hat, which defeated the Knights 3-1 in round robin play to qualify directly for the final and earn four days off. Harrison Meneghin stopped 20 shots for the Western Hockey League champions at Colisée Financière Sun Life. A WHL team hasn't won the Memorial Cup since the Edmonton Oil Kings in 2014. The Knights defeated the Moncton Wildcats, who the Quebec Maritimes Junior Hockey League, 5-2 in Friday's semifinal. The Rimouski Oceanic also played in the tournament as hosts, but lost all three games. London poured it on with three goals in the second period Sunday to take a commanding lead. After Elliott turned away a flurry of shots — including a tricky deflection from Cayden Lindstrom — Cowan buried his third of the tournament to make it 2-0 at 3:13. Cowan left the puck for Sam O'Reilly in the corner before circling the zone and finding an opening in front. Barkey added to the lead 1:40 later, capitalizing on a breakaway after Dickinson forced Tigers captain Oasiz Wiesblatt into a turnover at the blue line. Cowan appeared to make it 4-0 with his second of the night, but the officials ruled no-goal after O'Reilly interfered with Meneghin on a drive to the net. Barkey then scored his second of the night with a wrist shot from the left circle off the post and in past a screened Meneghin at 12:08. The Tigers peppered Elliott with shots on an ensuing power play. Bryce Pickford nearly scored but shot wide with the Knights netminder sprawling in the crease. McKenna finally broke Elliott's shutout bid by cutting into the slot and converting a wrist shot glove side 2:43 into the third period for his third goal in four games. The star winger was at it again with 5:21 remaining, beating Elliott with a slick shot into the top left corner. The goal, however, was called off following a review due to Ryder Ritchie's high stick earlier in the play. Medicine Hat pulled the goalie for an extra attacker with 3:50 left and held the puck in London's zone for much of the remaining time. The Knights held off the pressure before pouring out of the bench in celebration. The Tigers came out with energy in the first period, piling up nine shots in the first five minutes. Jonas Woo's shot snuck under Elliott's arm but hit the side of the net. London weathered the storm and responded with pressure of their own. Dickinson missed a chance in front after a give-and-go with Barkey. Julien broke through with the opener 11:21 into the first period when Henry Brzustewicz found him up the middle. The Knights forward beat Meneghin to the backhand for his second of the tournament. Ethan Neutens nearly got Medicine Hat on the board with 42 seconds remaining in the period, but ripped his shot from the right circle off the crossbar. London and Medicine Hat dominated their respective leagues en route to the Memorial Cup. The Knights — a team loaded with 12 NHL draft picks — went 55-11-2 in the regular season and lost only once in the playoffs. The Tigers, meanwhile, lost twice in the post-season after a 47-17-4 campaign. This report by The Canadian Press was first published June 1, 2025. Error!
