PETERBOROUGH, Ontario –The Chevaliers de Lévis won their first TELUS Cup, beating the Halifax Macs 8-1 in the gold medal game on Sunday night at Canada’s U18 Men’s National Club Championship. Jacob Boucher (St-Joseph-de-Beauce, QC) powered the offense for the Chevaliers, recording four assists on the day he was named Top Defender of the tournament. Malyk Côté (St-Lambert-de-Lauzon, QC) scored twice and added an assist for Lévis, who got multi-point nights from seven different players in the championship game. “We had an incredible start tonight,” said Côté post-game. “We knew we needed to be ready for puck drop and we just kept rolling. We watched a lot of video on [Halifax], came in with a plan and stuck with it. Our penalty kill was solid tonight; our goalie was there when we needed him and we got it done.”
Chevaliers’ goaltender Zachary Lainesse (Lévis, QC) backstopped his hometown team to the national title with a 25-save performance, giving up his only goal on a Halifax power play.
“So much hard work goes into this… it’s over, what a feeling,” added Chevaliers head coach Pier-Luc Giguère. “It’s an unbelievable feeling. Losing last year was tough. I thought about that loss to Regina every day this year. Everything we’ve done and been through this year… it’s hard to describe. We believed we could do this, every player in that room felt we could be national champions and now we are.”
