A win by the Peterborough Petes over North Bay in game seven of the Eastern Conference Final Monday night, means the final series starts at Budweiser Gardens in London.
It’s been seven years since the Knights played for the J Ross Robertson Cup.
In 2016, a team lead by Mitch Marner, Matthew Tkachuk, Christian Dvorak and Tyler Parsons won the title, then went onto win the Memorial Cup.
The last time the Petes were in the title game was 2006, as the team led by Jordan Staal and Steve Downie beat the Knights in four straight.
If the Knights want to win this year, they’ll have to beat a London native in the Petes’ net.
Michael Simpson, a former London Jr. Knight, has a 12-5 record in this post-season with a 2.79 goals against average and a .912 save percentage.
