I think the key to the series was our not getting too rattled. The current Spitfires lineup features 12 players who were on the Memorial Cup-winning squad last spring. They also have two other players, Marc Cantin and Stephen Johnson, who played in the 2008 tournament while members of the Belleville Bulls. Theyll try to become just the first team since 1995 to win back-to-back Memorial Cup titles. The OHL final pits the top team in the East against the top team in the West, with the Colts holding the title as the top overall squad in the regular season with a 57-9-0-2 record. Windsor was 50-12-1-5 this season. Unlike the Spitfires, they have cruised through the first three rounds of the playoffs, posting a sparkling 12-1 record. Probably since the (trade) deadline, I think fans of the league were hoping this (series) would happen, Colts coach Marty Williamson said Monday on the OHL website. We know that if you want to try to be the best then youve got to beat the best - and thats what they are. The Colts enter the series on nearly a week of rest after eliminating the Mississauga St. Michaels Majors last Wednesday. Weve had a couple of days off now and we just want to get back at it, Colts captain Stefan Della Rovere said on the OHL website. A lot of us in the room havent been this far in the playoffs before. Were excited to get our feet wet and get into it. Meanwhile, Boughner acknowledged that his players wouldnt have much time to catch their breath. Sure, it is a quick turnaround in a short period of time before we start playing Barrie and we have a lot of work to do before then, he said. But we have everything we need, game tapes and scouting reports, to compete right from the start. Windsor forward Eric Wellwood says his team knows what it takes to win. I just think that we have a dressing room full of winners and no one was going to quit, Wellwood said of how the team performed in the Kitchener series. We werent ready to go home and we still arent. According to Cantin, the Spitfires buckled but didnt break under the pressure. We were really feeling the pressure after losing the first three games, he said. But I felt that we only had to win one game to get things rolling and that is how it worked out. There comes a point where you cant write up plays anymore, it all comes down to heart and how bad you want to win. The Western Hockey League final also matches the top two playoff seeds. Calgary is back in the final for the second time in as many years and will be looking to erase the memories of a loss to Kelowna last spring. The Hitmen were tops in the regular season with a 52-17-1-2 record and survived a first-round scare after falling behind Moose Jaw 3-1. Hitmen forward Brandon Kozun is the playoff scoring leader with 26 points. Hes followed closely by two Tri-City players - Brendan Shinnimin has 22 points while Kruise Reddick has 21. The Americans have also received solid goaltending from Drew Owsley, who has a 2.14 goals-against average and .931 save percentage in the post-season. Tri-City is playing in the leagues championship series for the first time in its 22-year history. Green Bay Packers Aaron Rodgers Jersey.

"I am very excited to be a part of this team. I am happy to be part of a great hockey community. Vancouver has passionate fans." -- Christian Ehrhoff The writing was on the wall for the Vancouver Canucks after their exit from the 2009 Stanley Cup Playoffs -- namely, the Canucks had to get their defense more involved in the offense. With the constant flow in todays NHL, defensemen need to be able to jump into the play. They cant be tentative. Plus, a defender must possess the acumen to recognize offensive opportunities and take full advantage. That requires the mobility to help lead an attack and still have the wheels to get back into position and not get caught up ice. Such rare commodities usually are drafted or secured through free agency. Only under special circumstances are they made available via the trade route. But thats exactly what happened for the Canucks just prior to the start of the 2009-10 season. The San Jose Sharks, anticipating a deal for a scorer to ride shotgun with Joe Thornton, created some salary cap room by parting with defensemen Christian Ehrhoff and Brad Lukowich in a deal with the Canucks for prospects Daniel Rahimi and Patrick White on Aug. 28. On Sept. 12, the Sharks traded for Dany Heatley. "I was surprised a little at the start, but I am really excited to come here to a great hockey club and a great city," said Ehrhoff, who has added the offense the Canucks were seeking with 9 goals and 14 assists in 47 games. He also is a plus-19. "I was aware of the rumors and thats why the trade never came to me as such a surprise. I figured the Sharks had to make a move to create some cap space. So I knew it was a possibility that (a trade) could happen. But I am very excited to be a part of this team. I am happy to be part of a great hockey community. Vancouver has passionate fans." 2010 OLYMPICS (Vancouver, 2/16 - 2/28) Malone fits the Olympic mold of GM Burke Mike G.

Playing for Germany for the third time in Olympic competition, Vancouvers hockey fans will root their adopted son along. Drafted by San Jose in the fourth round of the 2001 Entry Draft (No. 106), the young Ehrhoff resembled a thoroughbred with unbridled raw talent. He was nurtured within the Sharks system, first with their AHL affiliate in Cleveland and then earning his way on the San Jose blue line by virtue of his speed, booming shot and improved defensive play. Ehrhoff played 341 regular-season games with the Sharks, totaling 25 goals and 107 assists. In 38 Stanley Cup Playoff games, he added 15 points (2-13-15), and last season led the team in average ice time during the playoffs (24:47). He finished the 2008-09 season with career highs in assists (34) and points (42), and tied for 23rd among NHL defensemen in points. While offense always has been his calling card, Ehrhoff won the respect of his San Jose teammates and coaches by doing the dirty work -- blocking shots and playing through injuries. Ehrhoff has brought those same qualities to Vancouver. "He has performed as advertised and has been very consistent for us all year both offensively and defensively," Canucks defenseman Kevin Bieksa said. "I played against Christian for a number of years, going all the way back to the miinors during the lockout season (2004-05).
