The London Knights are Western Conference champions for the second year in a row.
They defeated the Saginaw Spirit 4-2 in Game six on Sunday at the Dow Event Center to take the Wayne Gretzky Trophy. The Knights are now the first team to win the trophy back-to-back since the franchise last did so in 2012 and 2013. It is the Knights' eighth Wayne Gretzky Trophy in franchise history.
OHL MVP Easton Cowan got two goals and an assist during Sunday's game. Sam O’Reilly also scored and the third-period game-winner was scored by Jackson Edward. Denver Barkey and Max McCue each had a pair of assists.
Knights goalie Michael Simpson made 33 saves.
The Knights will next face the winner of Monday's Game seven of the Eastern Conference Final between the North Bay Battalion and Oshawa Generals.
