Knights win OHL championship thanks to Easton Cowan's MVP performance

This monumental achievement adds a sparkling new chapter to an already illustrious season.

Fresh off the heels of securing the Red Tilson Award as the regular season MVP, Cowan has now added both an OHL Championship and a Playoff MVP trophy to his burgeoning collection, a feat last matched by Mitch Marner in 2016.

Cowan's performance was nothing short of phenomenal, as evidenced by his domination in the finals against the Oshawa Generals. The young star exploded for four points—three goals and an assist—in a decisive 7-1 victory that completed a clean sweep for
London.

Throughout the four-game series with Oshawa, Cowan was unstoppable, accumulating 15 points and expanding his playoff tally to 34 points over 18 games. His playoff exploits are the icing on a cake that was his 96-point spectacle over 54 games in the regular season.

Not to be overlooked is Cowan's staggering 36-game point streak during the regular season, a feat surpassing even Connor Bedard's impressive run and positioning him third in CHL history behind Alexander Radulov and living legend Sidney Crosby.

The backdrop to Cowan's exceptional season is the strategic move by the Maple Leafs, who secured his draft pick through the Rasmus Sandin trade with the Capitals—a pick originally owned by the Boston Bruins.

As Cowan and the Knights set their sights on the upcoming Memorial Cup, where they will face off against the QMJHL Champion Drummondville Voltiguers on May 25th, the hockey world watches with bated breath. If his current form is anything to go by, Cowan's star is only set to rise higher in the hockey firmament.
