Cape Breton won, but I think Quebec was the better team.

Traditionally the winner is considered the better team…thats why they play the games

NyteHawk—Did you see this game?? I would like other fans opinions that attended the game.

Cape Breton had great goaltending and a steady team. They were consistent from the start of every game until the end of every game. Most team were inconsistent in their play and this led to the better team winning the championship. Colton Ellis, the CB goaltender has a very bright future in hockey, remember that name!!!
