Guelph Storm vs. Rouyn-Noranda Huskies
Attendance: 10,595
In what was most certainly a pro-Guelph crowd on Friday evening, the Rouyn-Noranda Huskies battled and defeated the Storm 6-4 to earn a spot in the Memorial Cup championship game on Sunday. The Huskies got off to a quick start, with Alex Beaucage scoring just under five minutes into the game on a power-play, but Guelph came back with two goals by Isaac Ratcliffe and Jack Hanley 60 seconds apart to take the lead. It seemed like we were going to get a even higher scorer game as it was tied 3-3 with 23:11 remaining but defence came into play in the later part of the second period. Felix Bibeau scored twice in the third to give Rouyn-Noranda a two goal lead before Ratcliffe made it interesting with 73 seconds to go. With the loss, the Storm's quest for another trophy has come to an end with a semi-final defeat.
