SJHN Daily: San Jose Names Street After Sharks, Dickinson & Halttunen Win Memorial Cup

Two San Jose Sharks prospects won the Memorial Cup as the London Knights defeated the Medicine Hat Tigers 4-1 in Rimouski, Quebec.

Sam Dickinson was a key part of the Knights’ win, tallying three assists during the Final. Kasper Halttunen, the OHL Playoffs MVP, was held without a point for only the fourth time in the postseason. 

The Knights took a 4-0 lead before the projected first-overall pick in 2026, Gavin McKenna, got the Tigers on the board with a goal in the third period. 

Even before the Final, Dickinson had a phenomenal level of offensive production during the Knights’ playoff run. Entering the night, he had recorded 31 points in just 19 postseason games. Halttunen was fantastic in the playoffs as well as he showed off his shooting ability, scoring 15 goals in 18 games.

TSN analyst Mike Johnson called Dickinson the most NHL-ready of all the prospects at the Memorial Cup. Besides London and Medicine Hat, the Moncton Wildcats and Rimouski Oceanic participated in this tournament pitting the best of the CHL against each other.
