The Kelowna Rockets and Oshawa Generals battle for the Memorial Cup tonight in what promises to be an exciting end to the tournament. Both teams have been strong throughout and have continued their regular-season excellence. This would be just the second Memorial Cup win for the Rockets, who won it in 2004; the Generals have won the Memorial Cup five times before, although their most recent win was in 1990.
The Rockets have the Memorial Cup's two leading scorers on their top line, Leon Draisaitl (7 points) and Nicholas Merkley (5 points). Their offense has been explosive all tournament long: the Rockets beat the Rimouski Oceanic 7-3 in the round robin, and demolished the Quebec Remparts 9-3 in the semifinal.
