Chicago Blackhawks prospects Matthew Highmore and Nathan Noel and the Saint John Sea Dogs won the Quebec Major Hockey League’s President Cup with a 5-1 win to complete a series sweep Wednesday in Boisbriand, Quebec.
With the QMJHL championship win, Highmore and Noel join fellow Chicago prospect Graham Knott in the Memorial Cup tournament field. Windsor, Knott’s Ontario Hockey League team, earn a spot in the Canadian Hockey League’s championship series by hosting the tournament, which begins May 19.
Highmore scored a goal and had two assists in the series-clinching win.
