Knights Crush Spirit of Saginaw in Season Opener

Wow, the Knights start already! Their first game was last night at home in the John Labatt Centre. This year's team featured plenty of new faces (Max Domi - the son of former Toronto Maple Leaf Tie Domi, Olli Maata, Kevin Raine, Tyler Ferry, Josh Anderson, Kyle Flemington, Jake Patterson and Bo Horvat). With all of these new, younger players fans and team personnel alike weren't sure if the team would succeed this year, but they sure did last night. It was a rout bordering on the ridiculous with London winning 8-0 on the strength of a hat trick (3-goal night) by Max Domi and 2 goals from returning player Seth Griffith. One of the newcomers, Bo Horvat also got in on the action with a goal. The shots on goal count favoured the Knights with a 45-36 mark. It remains to be seen what the Knights will dish out the rest of the season but they sure are off to a great start! The team is off tonight, but they play again in Guelph against the Storm tomorrow afternoon at 2 PM. Here is the game summary. By the way, the Jays played great last night vs the Tampa Bay Rays on the road. Here's the recap. The Jays play tonight against the Rays at 7 PM. Take care!
