The comeback kids are on their way to defend their 2009 Memorial Cup title in Brandon, Manitoba.
It really is amazing, although not totally unexpected (at least by me) that they're in the position to do so, after trailing the Kitchener Rangers 3-0 in the Ontario Hockey League's Western Conference Final. After beating Canada's #1 ranked Barrie Colts (which they shouldn't have been) for their second straight OHL championship, they're now off to defend their 2009 Memorial Cup title against the Western Hockey League champs, Calgary Hitmen, Quebec Major Junior Hockey League champs, the Moncton Wildcats, and the host team, also from the WHL, Brandon Wheat Kings.
The Spits will attempt to become only the fifth team to win back to back titles and the first since the 1994-1995 Kamloops Blazers.
