The 2014 playoffs are officially underway!
The Halifax Mooseheads have opened their defense of the Memorial Cup as the hottest team going into the playoffs, and have won their first two games against Charlottetown by 3 and 6 goals respectively. The last three Memorial Cups have all been won by teams in the Q.
The Kelowna Rockets finished first in the WHL, and received the Scotty Munro Trophy on Saturday, but the trophy they’re really interested in won’t be presented until May in London. The Guelph Storm has been strong all year, and finished first overall, just two points ahead of the Erie Otters. Guelph has won their first two games of the playoffs against the Plymouth Whalers, a team that they finished 45 points and 24 wins ahead of in the regular season.
