London and Kitchener seem to meet every spring in the playoffs and it’s safe to say the two teams generally hate each other
This is Landon Sim’s annual rite of spring. The London Knights veteran forward is gearing up to face the Kitchener Rangers in the playoffs for a fourth straight year. He knows what to expect: tempers boiling over, increased levels of trash talk, ref-bashing, organizational angst and – if history holds true – some league intervention […]
Denver Barkey wouldn’t let the Knights get rattled. When Kasper Halttunen’s goal early in overtime was reversed for an offside entry after a marathon video review, the London captain made sure his teammates stayed focused. A few minutes later, Sam O’Reilly completed the sweep of the Otters with a tally 6:49 into the extra session […]
It happened so fast. Easton Cowan, Landon Sim and Jacob Julien all scored in a 31-second span in the final minute of the first period. London’s outburst stunned the 3,350 Tuesday at Erie Insurance Arena and the Knights’ Game 3, 4-0 win has pushed the Otters to the brink of second-round elimination. “It was a […]
The London Knights have a new wrinkle in their offensive tool kit in their second-round series with Erie. It’s the Cam Allen solo rush. The veteran defenceman scored the Knights’ first goal of the series last Thursday and has had several other dangerous chances on dashes up the ice. He is adding the same layer […]
Set the tone. It’s a famous phrase in hockey and the London Knights have lived up to it in their first five playoff games this spring.
The London Knights went to three straight Memorial Cups after taking Bo Horvat ninth overall in the 2011 OHL draft and trading for fellow first-rounder Max Domi. The current three-year run of success stems from the 2021 draft when London selected Denver Barkey, Easton Cowan and Oliver Bonk from picks 16-26. Now, first-place London will […]
OWEN SOUND – On a team full of stars, it’s the rookie 10th-round pick who punched the London Knights’ ticket to the second round of the OHL playoffs. Noah Read’s hat trick led the way as the London Knights topped the Owen Sound Attack 8-4 in front of a sold-out crowd at the Harry Lumley […]
Unsurprisingly, London and Owen Sound are leading the Ontario Hockey League playoffs in penalty minutes so far.
The London Knights will face the Owen Sound Attack in the first round of the OHL playoffs. The defending league champs officially drew the Bayshore Bears on the final day of the regular season after the Sarnia Sting dropped a 5-2 decision in Sault Ste. Marie Sunday. The Knights won all six head-to-head meetings with […]
KITCHENER – Landon Sim got even the right way. The London Knights forward made a game-changing pass on Sam O’Reilly’s third-period winner to beat the Kitchener Rangers 2-1 before 7,279 Tuesday at the Memorial Auditorium. A period earlier, he had been all kinds of upset after being forced into a fight with Blueshirts defenceman Andrew […]
