Windsor Spitfires Make Memorial Cup History

The Windsor Spitfires made history last weekend in Rimouski where the Mastercard Memorial Cup was being held. The Spitfires became the first team in history to win the championship after losing their first two games.

The cup was donated  in 1919 by the Ontario Hockey Association in honour of the soldiers who died fighting for Canada in World War I.

After losing 3-2 in overtime to QMJHL champion Drummondville and 5-4 to host Rimouski. The Spitfires reeled off a 2-1 victory over Kelowna, beat Rimouski 6-4 in the tie breaker. Took out Drummondville in the semi-final. Then came all the way back with a 4-1 win over Kelowna again in the final.

Allsports congratulates the Spitfires on their great run and making history for sports on the web.
