The London Knights had the shortest possible off-season.
They played the final game of the Memorial Cup tournament on June 2, 2024 and less than three months later, were back on the ice at training camp.
“It’s a quick turnaround for everything,” said Knights’ defenceman, Sam Dickinson.
“I think that’s what everyone wants, is to play in the last game of the season and then kind of be right back here again.”
The last time they were on the ice was a heartbreaking defeat in Saginaw, Mich. in the Memorial Cup championship game. Dickinson said he didn’t let it ruin his summer.
“Once the game ended, there’s nothing really to do about it,” said Dickinson, who was busy after being chosen in the first round of the NHL draft by San Jose.
“For me, it was just move on from it and focus on next year.”
