Manor Memorial Cup Ends with Another Title for Kings Prospect

[LGKbot]

The Kitchener Rangers ran the table in Kelowna, going a perfect 4-0 to win the franchise’s third Memorial Cup. The final score of the championship was 6-2, with Jared Woolley scoring the game-winning goal to secure his second straight title. It caps a dominant junior career for the Kings 2024 sixth-round pick: three straight OHL championships, two straight Memorial Cups, and a reputation as one of the most complete defensemen in the CHL.

Teammate Sam O’Reilly was named tournament MVP after a goal and three assists in the final, completing a clean sweep of the regular-season MVP, playoff MVP, and Memorial Cup MVP. That trifecta has only been accomplished by three other players: Corey Perry, Brad Richards, and Mitch Marner. It’s also the third straight year an OHL team has lifted the Cup.


Everett, playing in their first Memorial Cup, did their best to prove they belonged. The Silvertips beat Chicoutimi twice — including a 6-1 semifinal victory — to reach the final, but Kitchener’s depth was too much. Chicoutimi, led by Anaheim prospect and QMJHL MVP Maxim Massé, went 1-2, earning their lone win 3-2 in overtime against Kelowna.

The hosting Rockets had the toughest tournament, going 0-3 and tying the record for fewest goals in tournament history with two, despite rostering Utah first-round pick Tij Iginla and Kings prospect Vojtech Cihar.

A recap of both Woolley and Cihar’s full seasons will be featured in our upcoming prospect tracker.
