It’s the first WHL championship for the modern incarnation of the Oil Kings in their five-year existence, and the first championship for an Edmonton-based franchise since the original Oil Kings won back-to-back titles in 1971 and ’72. That Oil Kings franchise would eventually relocate to Portland to become the Winterhawks. The Oil Kings will now head to Shawinigan, QC, to represent the WHL at the 2012 MasterCard Memorial Cup. The Oil Kings will join the host Shawinigan Cataractes, the OHL champion London Knights and the QMJHL champion and defending Memorial Cup champion Saint John Sea Dogs at the tournament, which begins on Friday. ONTARIO HOCKEY LEAGUE The London Knights are 2011-12 OHL Champions after defeating the Niagara IceDogs 2-1 in Game 5 of the Rogers OHL Championship Series. This marks the second Robertson Cup OHL Championship title for the Knights who last won in 2005. Austin Watson won the Wayne Gretzky 99 trophy as playoff MVP. He had two goals in the final series, including one in the final game and finished the playoffs with 10 goals and seven assists for 17 points in 19 games and played a critical role on the Knights' penalty kill blocking countless shots all series. The last member of the Knights to win the award was Corey Perry for his efforts in the 2005 series. The Knights will head to Shawinigan, Quebec, for the MasterCard Memorial Cup and will open competition against the QMJHL Champion Saint John Sea Dogs on Saturday May 19th. QUEBEC MAJOR JUNIOR HOCKEY LEAGUE The Saint John Sea Dogs put on an offensive clinic in the first period, registering five goals to put the game quickly out of reach and help them become the seventh team in Quebec Major Junior Hockey League history to capture back-to-back President Cup championships. The final tally was 8-0 in favour of the defending MasterCard Memorial Cup title holders. Charles Coyle who left the American program to pursue his career in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League received the Guy-Lafleur trophy as the most valuable player in the playoffs after recording 34 points, including 15 goals, in 17 games. Of note, Gerard Gallant sees his name inscribed on the President Cup for a fourth time; twice as a player and two times as a coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edmonton's coming off just playing unlike Shawinigan, they havent played a game in over a month, I'm sure Edmonton can get it going for this tournament, I expect Edmonton, or St John to win the cup.
