2010 TELUS Cup
Notre Dame Hounds Win Gold Medal; Mississauga Reps Takes Home Silver
LÉVIS, Que. – The Notre Dame Hounds have won their second-consecutive TELUS Cup following a 3-2 victory over the Mississauga Reps on Sunday afternoon in Lévis, Que in the gold medal game of the National Midget Championship.
Liam O’Brien (Halifax, N.S.) picked a great time to score his first goal of the tournament at 7:56 of the third period to break a 2-2 tie and give Notre Dame the lead. Slater Koekkoek (Mountain, Ont.) and Marcus Messier (Canmore, Alta.) also scored for the Hounds, who call Wilcox, Sask., home.
Eric Locke (Toronto, Ont.) scored both goals for the Reps, who played in their first National Midget Championship this week. Mississauga opened a 1-0 lead in the first period, but Koekkoek answered back later in the frame. The teams went into the third tied at 1-1. Malcolm Subban (Toronto, Ont.) made 55 saves in the Mississauga net to keep his team in the game.
The win gives Notre Dame four gold medals at the National Midget Championship, which ties it with the Regina Pat Canadians for most all-time.
In Sunday’s bronze medal game, the St. John’s Fog Devils earned a 5-4 victory over the Gaulois du Collège Antoine-Girouard, ending Quebec’s 12-year streak with a medal.

2010 RBC Cup: Vernon Vipers win!
The Vernon Vipers from the BCHL are Canada’s first six-time national Junior A champions which puts them into top spot in all-time national championships, joining titles in 1990, 1991, 1996, 1999, 2009 and now 2010. The Vipers have become the first team since the Vernon Lakers in 1990-91 to win back-to-back national championships. The Vipers earned their sixth title all-time with an 8-1 victory over the Dauphin Kings in Sunday’s championship game.
Dylan Walchuk, Kellen Jones and Cole Ikkala scored goals in a span of 48 seconds early in the second period, turning a 1-0 Vernon lead into a 4-0 advantage as the Vipers defended the title they won in Victoria, B.C. one year ago. Thirteen players from that team returned for this season. The first period was all Vipers, as they peppered Kings netminder Joe Caligiuri with 16 shots in the opening 20 minutes, but the only goal they could muster came off the stick of Cory Kane, who snapped a shot past the glove of Caligiuri at 14:28.
The tournament hosts tried valiantly to tie the game early in the second period, but both Steven Shamanski and Shane Luke were turned away point-blank by Vernon goaltender Graeme Gordon, who stood tall when it mattered – allowing only one goal in two playoff-round games.
Walchuk got the three-goal spurt started at 6:28, beating Caligiuri off the left wing on a two-on-one, Jones made it 3-0 at 7:07, batting a puck out of mid-air, and Ikkala pushed the lead to four at 7:16, scoring on another two-on-one, this time off the right wing. Bryce Lamb ended Gordon’s bid for his second consecutive shutout with a power play goal for the Kings midway through the middle frame, but Patrick McGillis tapped home a Walchuk rebound before the horn sounded to restore Vernon’s four-goal lead after 40 minutes. With the result all but decided, the Vipers added three more in the third period – Sahir Gill made it 6-1 before Jones and Garrett Noonan rounded out the scoring with power play goals in the final six-and-a-half minutes.
Vernon added the 2010 crown to titles won in 1990, 1991, 1996, 1999 and 2009, putting it two ahead of the Prince Albert Raiders (1977, 1979, 1981, 1982), who are the only other team to win at least four. Dauphin was making its National Junior A Championship debut and won the MJHL and ANAVET Cup titles to become the first RBC Cup host team since Halifax in 2002 to win league and regional championships. Despite Sunday’s loss, the Kings were a remarkable 43-3-1 on home ice this season.

2010 Allan Cup
For the first time ever, the Fort St. John Flyers have won the Allan Cup, Canada’s National Senior Championship. The Flyers earned the 102nd national title with a 3-1 win over the Bentley Generals on Saturday afternoon at North Peace Arena.
Todd Alexander, Chris Stevens, Ryan Carter and Rod Stevens scored for the Flyers, who led 1-0 after one period and 2-0 after two. Scott Hood scored the lone goal for Bentley, cutting Fort St. John’s lead to 2-1 midway through the third period before Carter added an insurance marker at 17:04 of the final frame and Stevens rounded out the scoring into an empty net in the dying seconds.
Fort St. John went through the tournament undefeated, beating Bentley 7-1 and the Clarenville Caribous 6-3 during round-robin play, and knocking off the South East Prairie Thunder, last year’s runners-up, 7-3 in Friday’s semifinal.
The Generals, who reached their third-consecutive national championship game and were looking to become the first team since the 1993-95 Warroad Lakers to win back-to-back Allan Cups, finished second behind Fort St. John in round-robin action (7-1 loss to Fort St. John, 7-2 win over Clarenville) before beating the Powell River Regals 5-1 in the quarter-finals and the Dundas Real McCoys 4-2 in their semifinal.
The Flyers became the ninth host team to win the Allan Cup since the tournament went to a round-robin format in 1992, the first since the Brantford Blast in 2008. The national title is the 12th all-time for British Columbia, second only to Ontario’s 48. The last B.C. team to win the Allan Cup was the Powell River Regals in 2006.
The Allan Cup is one of the oldest club-team hockey competitions in North America, having been first competed for in 1908. Only once in the past 103 years, in 1945, has an Allan Cup champion not been crowned. Kenora, Ont. will host the 2011 Allan Cup in April 2011.
