Overtime win thrills London Knights fans. Players? Not so much
Gerard Keane has a sneaky shot. He has been trying to develop a wicked one. “I’ve worked on it a lot in practice this year,” the 20-year-old Knights defenceman said with a grin. “Logan Mailloux is great at taking one-timers and I’ve been watching him a lot on how he takes them.” Good thing, too, […]
Knights checking line a ‘throwback trio’
At this point in nearly every OHL season, Dale Hunter puts together a checking line he hopes sends a jolt of energy through his Knights lineup.
Logan Mailloux’s offensive flair keeps shootout streak intact for Knights
The Knights have a pretty fool-proof way of picking shootout participants. If you can find a move nifty enough to score on Brett Brochu in practice, there is a strong chance it will work against any other major junior goaltender. The Knights stopper denied Guelph’s Sasha Pastujov and Danny Zhilkin in the breakaway contest while […]

London Knights’ Luke Evangelista, Brett Brochu snatch win in the Soo
Whenever the Knights need to dig themselves out of a ditch, Luke Evangelista and Brett Brochu usually grab a shovel. The Knights captain provided a natural hat trick and the star goalie recorded a tidy 27-save shutout in a 3-0 victory over Sault Ste. Marie before 2,476 Saturday at GFL Memorial Gardens. Evangelista now has […]
‘We came out flat’: Knights get thumped in Soo double-header’s opener
The Knights had plenty of rest and prep time before their first of back-to-back games in Sault Ste. Marie this weekend. None of it helped. London surrendered four first-period goals, yanked its starting goaltender after 40 frustrating minutes and dropped a 6-3 decision to the Greyhounds before 2,476 Friday at GFL Memorial Gardens. “We came […]
PYETTE: Luke Evangelista leading Knights, eyeing OHL scoring crown
Luke Evangelista still has a good shot at 60 goals. He’s in the driver’s seat to become the first full-season Knight since Patrick Kane to win the OHL scoring title in 2006-07 (John Tavares did it two years later, but he started that season in Oshawa). The London captain has navigated a handful of tough […]
No Family Day miracle as Knights fall in overtime to Rangers
They roared all the way back just to stumble at the finish line. That’s how the 5-4 overtime loss to Kitchener felt to the London Knights before 4,500 Monday at Budweiser Gardens. “We’ve got to be winning games here,” London veteran forward Sean McGurn said. “We’re chasing first place in the (Western) conference. One point […]
