LONDON, Ont. -- Bo Horvats goal with 0.1 seconds left to play lifted the London Knights to a 3-2 win over the Barrie Colts in Game 7 of the Ontario Hockey League final on Monday. The Knights are the first back-to-back OHL champions since the Windsor Spitfires in 2009 and 2010. Horvat, who also scored 7:13 of the first period to open the scoring, finished the series with seven goals and four assists, and was named the winner of the 99 Trophy as playoff MVP. Horvat had 16 goals and seven assists in 21 playoff contests. Andreas Athanasiou scored midway through the first for Barrie to even it 1-1. The former Knight scored in six of the seven games. Olli Maattas power-play goal in the middle frame restored the London lead. London maintained its 2-1 advantage until Colts Mitchell Theorets 14th of the playoffs at 17:09 of the third created the electric finish in front of 9,046 at the Budweiser Gardens. The Knights now join host Saskatoon Blades, WHL champion Portland Winterhawks and QMJHL winners Halifax Mooseheads at the Memorial Cup, which begins Friday with the Blades entertaining London in the tourney opener. Saskatoon has been idle since March 27, losing in the first round of the WHL playoffs. Last year, the Knights lost in the Memorial Cup final in overtime, 2-1 to Shawinigan. Theoret had one goal and one assist for Barrie as the Colts had led the best-of-seven 3-1 before losing 6-4, and 5-4 in overtime to force the decisive seventh game. The Colts played without OHL playoff scoring champion Mark Scheifele (15 goals, 41 points), who was injured in Game 6 in Barrie. Jake Patterson stopped 30 of 32 for London for his third post-season win in three consecutive starts. Anthony Stolarz had won Londons first 13 in the playoffs. Mathias Niederberger faced 48 shots, including Barrie trailing that stat 39-17 after two periods. The Colts only OHL title was in 2000, when they outlasted Plymouth in seven games, clinching that year on the road.Custom Cardinals T-shirts .

Wholesale Custom Cardinals Shirts . On Tuesday, Ottawa placed forward Cory Conacher and defenceman Joe Corvo on waivers as trade rumours swirl around the Senators. Custom Ozzie Smith Jersey . The Vikings announced Thursday that Priefer will be one of seven holdovers from the previous staff, along with offensive line coach Jeff Davidson, wide receivers coach George Stewart and others. Norv Turner will mark his 30th year of coaching in the NFL as the offensive co-ordinator, as widely reported for weeks, and George Edwards will be the defensive co-ordinator.Mercurial Geelong midfielder Steven Motlop still has the backing of coach Chris Scott despite his inconsistent AFL season to date.The 25-year-old appeared on the verge of attaining elite status entering his seventh AFL season but has instead been criticised for his uneven performances.However, Scott doesnt believe Motlops position in the side deserves to be seriously questioned just yet.Everyones position is in question if the performances arent there ... what hes been is inconsistent, Scott said.If it had been a long period of poor performance then he wouldnt be in the team.Motlop hasnt managed more than 15 possessions in any of the Cats last three losses - all to teams outside the eight.Hes played some very good footy this year, but what he seems to be for us is a player that when he plays well has a big impact on the result, Scott added.So weve had a couple of poor performances collectively where hes had average games as well. I can tell you thats a lot better position to be in as a player ... you want to be someone who can actually impact games.ddddddddddddEven if that means when you play poorly you have a big impact on the team ... I think that is more a reflection of his importance to the team.Motlop appears a sure thing to take on Sydney in Friday nights blockbuster clash at Simonds Stadium and he could line up with luckless key forward Mitch Clark for the first time this season.Clark has largely impressed in four games back at VFL level and a faultless block of training over the bye has him primed for a return to the big stage.Hes available, Scott said.We just need to make a decision as to whether thats the best thing for the team in the longer term.So weve got eight weeks before we play finals if were good enough and the priority is really making sure that hes at his best towards that period.Clark hasnt played in Geelongs AFL side since he suffered a serious calf injury in round nine last season.
