Notes

Seven of the last eight Memorial Cup champions have won their league titles. The host Shawinigan Cataractes were the last host team to win it all after failing to run the table in the league playoffs … The Knights are competing for the Memorial Cup for the fourth time in five years. They won it on home ice in 2005 … London led the OHL in offence (319 goals for) and defence (182 goals against).
