The Everett Silvertips are headed to the final of the Memorial Cup after defeating the Chicoutimi Sageneens 6-1 on Friday in the Semi-final. They will face OHL Champion Kitchener Rangers in the final. Kitchener had previously beat the ‘Tips 6-2 during round robin play. Lots of firsts for Everett this season. First WHL championship, first Memorial Cup tournament appearance, first trip to the Memorial Cup Final. This is the second appearance of a Seattle area team in the final in the last 5 years. The Seattle Thunderbirds were defeated by the Quebec Remparts in the final in 2023. Seattle Kraken prospect Julius Miettinen was the leading scorer for Everett in the WHL playoffs. He’s struggled a bit in the Memorial Cup, but scored his first goal in the semi-final game. The Final is Sunday at 4pm Pacific Time. It can be watched on NHL Network if you have Cable, Fubo, or Direct TV. It can also be watched on the Victory+ App for streaming. submitted by /u/MAHHockey |
