Not many junior hockey players have the opportunity to win a championship in their final junior hockey game — but three over-age London Knights players have that chance Sunday night.
Not many junior hockey players have the opportunity to win a championship in their final junior hockey game.
For three over-age London Knights, they have that chance Sunday night.
“This is the best last game I guess you could have,” said Max McCue, 21, who has played with the Knights for four seasons.
“Being in a cup final … if we can get a win on Sunday, that would be pretty special."
Michael Simpson and Kaleb Lawrence both joined the Knights this season after playing OHL hockey in other markets.
Simpson, 21, has had a decorated career.
Over the course of three seasons with London and Peterborough, the London native has won multiple awards: two J. Ross Robertson Cups, an OHL playoff MVP, both the eastern and western conference championships and shared a goals-against-average lead with teammate Owen Willmore this season.
