The event that junior players dream of reaching is finally upon us after months of waiting. And the first matchup of the Memorial Cup didn't disappoint.
The Hamilton Bulldogs were paired against the Regina Pats in the tournament’s first game, which meant a showdown of two Habs prospects who have gotten to know each other from camps, but had yet to play versus one another in a real game: William Bitten and Cale Fleury.
Both players showcased what they do best.
Bitten was hard on the forecheck, trying to create turnovers for the Bulldogs and capitalize on the scoring ability of linemates Arthur Kaliyev and Mackenzie Entwistle.
