Luke Evangelista still has a good shot at 60 goals.

SUDBURY – Will Bishop wasn’t always the same smooth skater who patrolled the Sudbury Wolves blueline in his first two OHL games recently.

PYETTE: Knights must bear down, not wear down as OHL extends season
Before the pandemic started in March 2020, the London Knights were in first place in the OHL’s Western Conference. It means a lot to them that – after all this – they’re back in the same position. Now, you have to use winning percentage, not points, as the proper measurement, since they’re still well behind […]
Knights welcome back all season-ticket holders starting with Soo tilt
