Windsor does if after all

After a shocking 0-2 start. The Spitfires decided it was time to get their act together. In some very close games the Spitfires clawed their way back to a winning record. While doing so it was only fitting that Taylor Hall, Nemisz, and Ellis found their games. After defeating the Voltigeurs in the semi final Windsor found themselves battling the team that they beat earlier to stay alive. On the other hand the Rockets were faced with the task of playing the only team to have beat them thus far.

Now the Rockets had a chance to eliminate Windsor early on. But the Rockets were already garunteed a spot in the final so in a way this was a meaningless game for them. Well the Rockets played soft and Windsor came out with a win despite another poor effort from their club. So in the final would the Windsor make the Rockets regret not eliminating them when they had the chance.

Yes would be the answer to that question. Windsor came flying out of the gate. Windsors 1st shot, a goal. Windsors 2nd shot, a goal. Windsors 3rd shot, a goal. Windsor had 3 goals in 3 shots and Kelowna hadnt even got a shot off yet. Mark Guggenberger is pull and Adam Brown saw his 1st taste of action in 2 months. To his credit he would make some huge saves right away. After 1 period Kelowna looked down and out.

8 seconds into the 2nd period Cody Almond scores. 3-1 going into the 3rd. Ryan Ellis would blast a point shot that beats Brown and 4-1 would be your final. The Spitfires never gave up despite looking like the laughing stock of the Memorial Cup just a few days in. Mickey Renaud was watching them from up above with pride. The Spitfires became the 1st ever team to win it all after starting 2-0 at the Memorial cup.
