The Seattle Thunderbirds were unable to beat goaltender William Rousseau and the defense of the Québec Remparts as their Memorial Cup hopes were dashed with a 5-0 loss in the championship game on Sunday. FOX13
It was just the second time all year the high-powered attack of the Thunderbirds was shutout. Rousseau delivered 32 saves for the Remparts in blunting Seattle's offense while Québec scored three goals in the third period to break the game wide open.
Rousseau was on his game from the start as Seattle couldn't find a way to break the Québec goaltender. Rousseau continued to hold strong for Québec on some of the Thunderbirds better chances. Nico Myatovic and Nolan Allan had shots turned aside with around five minutes left in the period. A big left pad save on Lucas Ciona also maintained the Remparts' advantage at the end of the first period.
Malatesta was named Memorial Cup MVP with five goals during the tournament for the Remparts, who are the fourth straight team out of the Québec Major Junior Hockey League to win the Memorial Cup. Justin Robidas deflected a bouncing puck on net that deflected off the crossbar and somehow stayed out of the net with 10:50 remaining that would have made it a three-goal game for the Remparts. Milic made another big save on Malatesta with just over nine minutes left to play.
