Robert Thomas scores winner as Bulldogs top Titan at Memorial Cup
REGINA — Hamilton Bulldogs captain Justin Lemcke is now a fan of the Swift Current Broncos, even if it’s just for one day.
The Ontario Hockey League champion earned at least a berth in the Memorial Cup semifinal with a 3-2 win over the Acadie-Bathurst Titan on Tuesday.
Hamilton (2-1) now needs a win on Wednesday night by the Broncos (0-2) against the host Regina Pats (1-1) to skip Friday’s semifinal and automatically reach the championship game. If Regina beats Swift Current, the Titan (2-1) advance directly into Sunday’s final.
“Not actively cheering for the Swift Current Broncos, but they are the team that we need to win, so a little bit,” Lemcke said. “But I don’t think you’re gonna see anybody jumping out of our seat.”
