London got here with a bye after finishing with a perfect record in the round robin, while Rouyn-Noranda defeated the hosts Red Deer in the semifinal. Rouyn-Noranda finished the season as the #1 ranked team in the CHL, but London has been on a tear recently, winning their last 16 games. Their last loss was in Game 6 of the OHL Playoffs, on April Fool's Day.
