London Knights clinch playoff spot for 24th consecutive season

The London Knights secured their playoff spot for the 24th consecutive season with a 6-1 victory against the Owen Sound Attack, highlighted by Cohen Bidgood's standout performance.

In a decisive match on Family Day, the London Knights triumphed over the Owen Sound Attack with a score of 6-1, effectively securing their place in the playoffs for the 24th consecutive season. This achievement stretches back to the 2000-01 Ontario Hockey League season when Mark and Dale Hunter took over ownership of the team. Cohen Bidgood played a pivotal role in this victory by scoring two goals and providing two assists, marking a career-high of four points in a single game.

The Knights demonstrated their dominance early by scoring three goals in the first period, setting the tone for the match. Will Nicholl and Jesse Nurmi each contributed significantly, with Nicholl scoring his eighth goal of the season just before the end of the first period. Meanwhile, Nurmi extended his impressive point streak to 11 games, further solidifying his importance to the team. Jaxon Cover and Braidy Wassilyn also contributed to the scoring, both netting their 17th goals of the season, showcasing the Knights' offensive depth.

This victory not only marks a continuation of the Knights' remarkable playoff streak but also highlights the talent emerging in the team, particularly the performance of younger players like Bidgood and Nicholl. As the Knights head into the playoffs, their ability to build on this victory and maintain momentum will be crucial for their aspirations in the championship run ahead, reinforcing their legacy in the OHL.
