Top 10 Sea Dogs Memorial Cup Moments: #2 - DeSerres gets his redemption

(Ed. Note: In honour of 2022 Memorial Cup tickets going on sale to the general public on Dec. 6, we're counting down the top 10 Sea Dogs moments in Memorial Cup history.)

#2 - Jacob DeSerres gets his redemption
In the 2010 Memorial Cup final, Jacob DeSerres was in net for all nine goals against as Taylor Hall and the Windsor Spitfires defeated the host Brandon Wheat Kings 9-1 to win their second straight championship.

A year later, DeSerres made it all the way back to the Memorial Cup final - and he delivered one of his best performances as a Saint John Sea Dog.

The overage netminder made 34 saves in Saint John's 3-1 victory and was named the game's first star. He came up huge on several occasions as the Mississauga St. Michael's Majors pressed hard for an equalizer throughout the second half of the game.

Even after Jonathan Huberdeau had made it a 3-1 game late in the third, DeSerres made a huge stop on Devante Smith-Pelly to secure the win.
