Goaltender Dustin Tokarski made 53 saves in the victory.The trophy, however, was not as solid: Chiefs captain Chris Bruton lifted it over his head and then as he was about to hand it to teammates, the cup became separated from its heavy base, which fell to the ice.Note: The 2009 Memorial Cup will be held in Rimouski, Quebec.

To honor the 35th anniversary of the legendary 1972 Summit Series, Canada and Russia will reprise the event in the fall of 2007. But this time it will feature junior-age players. This 8-game series will begin with 4 games in Russia and then 4 games in Canada.The global political climate has changed greatly in the past 35 years, but the rivalry between the two hockey nations remains strong.
