Windsor Spitfires have Reached the Memorial Cup

for the Third Third in their 34 year History -Knights Not So Much

Click here to read everything about the 2010  Memorial Cup and tune in to watch the games live! But one things for sure, you won't find the London Knights in any game. They aren't playing hockey any more this year.

The Spitfires lost in the Championship game of the 1988 Memorial Cup 7-6 in a wild game to the Medicine Hat team. They easily beat Kamloops last year and who knows what will happen this year.

The Knights won the OHL and  made it to the big show once where they won the Memorial Cup in 2004-2005. Since they were sold to the Hunters and moved to the JLC they have been transformed into perennial winners but Londoners don't seem to realize that that doesn't automatically translate into yearly OHL championships and Memorial Cups wins. Many other teams in the OHL have modernized their scouting, marketing and player development and want to win just as bad as they do. This is not your granddaddy's OHL.

 The Spits have now been there 3 times and so far. They have one once with a chance for a second close at hand. They easily handled the Brandon Wheat Kings in the Friday Night Opener.

The Spits have won the OHL Championship 3 Times in thier history (1987-1988), (2008-2009), (2009-2010)
