Three teams complete series sweeps

Three of the four teams that will play in the President Cup semifinals are now known.

The Charlottetown Islanders, Sherbrooke Phoenix and Shawinigan Cataractes all completed series sweeps on Thursday night, earning spots in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League's final four. The Quebec Remparts currently lead the Rimouski Oceanic 2-1 in the other quarterfinal series and can close it out on Friday night.

The Islanders defeated the Acadie-Bathurst Titan 3-1 in Thursday's Game 3. Charlottetown, now 6-0 in the playoffs, outscored Bathurst 12-3 in the three-game sweep (and one of those goals against was an own-goal by the Islanders).


Former Sea Dog Dawson Stairs had two assists in the series. He now has a goal and four helpers in six playoff games with the Islanders.

In Boisbriand, the Phoenix eliminated the Armada with a 7-5 victory. Former Sea Dog Joshua Roy had a goal and an assist in the game to give him five goals and 11 assists in seven playoff games.

In Shawinigan, the Cataractes closed out the Gatineau Olympiques with a 1-0 victory.

Lastly, in Rimouski, former Sea Dog Alex Drover was a -2 with two shots in the Oceanic's 4-1 loss to the top-seeded Remparts. Drover has three goals in eight playoff games this year.

If Quebec moves in, the Remparts would play Shawinigan and Charlottetown would take on Sherbrooke. In Rimouski advances, the Oceanic would face Charlottetown and Sherbrooke would battle Shawinigan.
