The Acadie-Bathurst Titan defeated the host Regina Pats 3-0 on Sunday to win the 100th edition of the Memorial Cup, their first-ever title.
The Titan got goals from Adam Howell and Samuel Asselin before Ethan Crossman sealed the deal with an empty-netter. Goaltender Evan Fitzpatrick made 28 saves in the shutout effort.
Acadie-Bathurst finished second in the QMJHL standings in the regular season with a record of 43-15-8-2, and made some Canadian history with Sunday's win.
It's worth noting Pats captain and 2016 first-round pick of the Anaheim Ducks, Sam Steel, earned tournament MVP honors after recording 13 points in five games.
