Submitted by Joe Kirchmyer on Friday, February 24th, 10:24 am

OK, so this hockey season may not be working out exactly how Buffalo Sabres fans envisioned it before the start of the season. But there’s a hockey team just across the border that’s closing out February as the Canadian Hockey League’s (CHL) number one ranked junior team!

The London Knights, under the direction of head coach and GM Mark Hunter, have put together an impressive 42-13-0-1 record. Hunter’s name should be familiar to local hockey fans as he had a long NHL career that included stops in Montreal, St. Louis, Calgary, Hartford and Washington.
