RED DEER – It’s called ‘western hospitality’ for a reason.
Folks on the Prairies are known for being welcoming, gracious hosts.
That appears to be the case once again at the Memorial Cup in Red Deer.
But those Easterners have been anything but model guests.
For the second straight night an eastern club – the QMJHL-champion Rouyn-Noranda Huskies this time – ruined a western squad’s evening.
Timo Meier scored twice while captain Francis Perron, who was named MVP of both the regular season and playoffs, added a trio of helpers as the
Huskies rolled to a 5-3 win over the Brandon Wheat Kings at the Red Deer Centrium.
