Last year I had the privilege of covering the OHL Championship Series games in Niagara. My IceDogs were back in the finals four years after losing to the London Knights, and now they were facing London again. The big interest was in Maple Leafs prospect Mitch Marner, and the Knights runaway season and stacked team.
People also made a big deal of London’s 12-2 record heading into the finals, but Niagara was 12-1 defeating teams ranked higher than them. Just saying.
It was an amazing experience, and after being a part of an event like that (despite it’s outcome), I wanted more.
