Attack lead Spitfires in OHL Western Conference Final series 2-1

Could a small sample size send Taylor Hall back to the OHL? Or, as Puck Daddy says, is it just good business sense?

Sabres Prospect Zack Kassian will take the ice for the Windsor Spitfires as they try to improve their record to 2-0 at the Memorial Cup.

Sportsnet is broadcasting the entire 2010 Memorial Cup tournament, and so the webcast of the event is on their site. I'm not sure if there will be restrictions for non-Canadian IP addresses, so no guarantees on that front. For good old fashioned TV watching, it is being broadcast on the NHL Network in the USA. I realize there is a big Game 7 going on tonight in the NHL, so this might not be your first priority. Consider this an open thread. The puck drops at 8 PM EST. Buzzing the Net, the Yahoo! Canada junior hockey blog run by Neate Seager, will be doing a full chat as well. Check out his site for a lot of great Memorial Cup related articles.

The Windsor Spitfires followed up their 2009 championship campaign with another one in 2010. They swept the Barrie Colts tonight with a decisive 6-2 win. The Spitfires are now the first OHL team since 1991-92 (Greyhounds) to win consecutive championships. Congratulations to Windsor for the accomplishment. The playoffs were quite good for the Devils prospects on Windsor. Defenseman Harry Young only put up 1 assist and picked up 24 PIM, but the defensive defenseman was the captain of the championship team. Excellent experience for him, certainly. Adam Henrique should be receiving all kinds of praise. He finished 6th in OHL playoff scoring with 25 points, which is very good. He was fantastic at goal scoring - he put up 20 goals in 19 playoff games to finish tied with Jeff Skinner in OHL playoff scoring. Yes, 20 goals in 19 games - including a hat trick in Game 3 of the Finals. Henrique was awarded the Wayne Gretzky Award as the MVP of the OHL Playoffs. The WJCs, another OHL championship, and a playoff MVP award - 2009-10 has been superb for Henrique! Windsor's season will continue in the Memorial Cup, hosted by Brandon - featuring Devils prospect Alexander Urbom. The tournament of CHL champions and the hosts will begin on May 14. Henrique and Young join Mattias Tedenby as Devils prospects to have won championships with their teams in 2009-10. Congratulations to everyone involved.

Leafs 2nd round pick (58th overall) Jesse Blacker was traded from the Windsor Spitfires to the Owen Sound Platers Attack. Blacker had tough competition in Windsor, behind Ryan Ellis and Cam Fowler.

The Memorial Cup is Canada's premier tournament for junior hockey, and former Predators defenseman Bob Boughner coached the Windsor Spitfires to their first championship over the weekend. Puck Daddy has all the storylines around this huge win.
