QUEBEC CITY – Michael McCarron has picked up the helpful habit of winning at just the right time as he prepares to go pro.
McCarron and the Oshawa Generals defeated the Kelowna Rockets 2-1 in overtime on Sunday to win the Memorial Cup in Quebec City. The win marked the second championship in two weeks for the Canadiens’ prospect who also hoisted the Robertson Cup in the OHL final on May 15.
Becoming the fourth Habs hopeful since 2011 to win Junior hockey’s most prestigious trophy, the 20-year-old center put an exclamation point on what has been an impressive turnaround season with the Generals in 2015.
