GUELPH WINS

May 21, 2019

Prince Albert Raiders vs. Guelph Storm

Attendance: 9,248

The Guelph Storm have ended the season for the Prince Albert Raiders after a 5-2 victory on day 5 of the Memorial Cup. Guelph won their second game of the tournament to improve to 2-1 for the round robin while Prince Albert finished with a 0-3 record. Because of this, there will be no tie-breaker game on Thursday. The Raiders looked out of place in all three of their matches and it seemed like they didn't get any luck at all. The Storm looked dominate all game long and were led by Nick Suzuki  who scored the last goals. Toronto Maple Leafs prospect Fedor Gordeev picked up his first goal of the tournament as he beat fellow Leafs prospect Ian Scott to open the scoring. Prince Albert and the Storm would trade goals after that and the score was tied at 2-2 after 20 minutes. Liam Hawel scored on the power play just 1:21 into the second period to give the Ontario Hockey League champs the lead and they never looked back.

HALIFAX WINS

May 17, 2019

Halifax Mooseheads vs. Prince Albert Raiders

Attendance: 9,926

The 2019 Memorial Cup hosts opened the tournament with a big victory over the Prince Albert Raiders on Friday night. Fans at the Scotiabank Centre were right into the game from the drop of the puck, even before when the pre-game ceremony happened. Jean-Sebastien Giguere, who was the first Halifax Moosehead ever drafted to the National Hockey League, came out for the ceremony. Halifax started off a bit undisciplined with three straight penalties but at the 10:49 mark of the first period, Samuel Asselin got his team on the board. Before the first was done, Xavier Parent scored to make it 2-0. Prince Albert looked a bit tired and not as fast as the Herd but the Raiders only had three days to recuperate and they were on a plane coming from the west coast during that. Noah Gregor got Prince Albert on the board midway through the second period but Halifax got two more goals including an empty net from Antoine Morand to send the almost 10 thousand fans home happy.

Prince Albert Raiders at Halifax Mooseheads

May 17 - 8:00pm

Scotiabank Centre

It's finally here! It's the opening game of the Memorial Cup here in Halifax and it will begin with our Halifax Mooseheads taking on the WHL champion Prince Albert Raiders tonight at 8pm. Even though the Herd have known for more than a year that they will be in this tournament on the national stage, they still wanted to show that they are a competitor during it and made it all the way to the QMJHL finals. Prince Albert won the Western Hockey League just on Monday so it's a quick turn around for the Raiders who had to get the Game 7 victory in overtime. The Raiders goaltender Ian Scott was named CHL goaltender of the week the other day and was also given the MVP trophy for the WHL playoffs. He has the best save percentage and the lowest goals against average out of the remaining four net keepers so the Mooseheads will have to shoot a lot and get Scott moving. Just like regular season records don't really matter in the playoffs, you can throw post-season records out as well now that we're in the Memorial Cup because it's so quick.
