the Huskies were just minutes away from winning the franchise’s first Memorial Cup. However, the London Knights tied it up, then Matthew Tkachuk’s goal in overtime ending the Huskies’ dream.
This year, the Huskies came together and became the best team in not just the QMJHL, but the CHL. With stars such as Peter Abbandonato and Joel Teasdale leading the offence, Samuel Harvey being a brick wall in net, and the addition of Noah Dobson at the deadline made the Huskies a favourite to make a run at the Memorial Cup, winning 59 wins during the regular season, a QMJHL record.
