SASKATOON, Sask. — The Canadian Hockey League’s final four is set with a dream tournament about to commence.
The Halifax Mooseheads, London Knights and Portland Winterhawks were pre-season favourites to win their respective league championships and didn’t disappoint.
All three were virtual wire-to-wire champions, which should make this one of the most unpredictable MasterCard Memorial Cups yet.
Can the host Saskatoon Blades duplicate last year’s hosts, the Shawinigan Cataractes, and win it all after an early exit in the playoffs?
And after being slapped with sanctions for violating player recruitment and benefits, would a Portland title need to be followed with an asterisk?
Youth will be served with both the Knights and Moosehead – who have young but inexperienced cores.
Which team will receive the bigger contributions from their young stars?
With as many as eight prospects vying for the first-round of the NHL Draft, including the consensus top three, which draft eligible player will improve his stock most for the draft?
