The 2014 Memorial Cup was held May 16–25, 2014 in London, Ontario, featuring the Guelph Storm (OHL champions), Val-d’Or Foreurs (QMJHL champions), Edmonton Oil Kings (WHL champions), and London Knights (host). This four-team round-robin format culminated with Edmonton Oil Kings defeating the Guelph Storm 6–3 in the final to win the championship. For a detailed recap of final scores and key moments, see contemporary coverage from the period, including Bleacher Report’s live updates and summaries.[1][2]

Notable moments included a triple-overtime semifinal between Edmonton Oil Kings and another finalist, making it one of the longest games in Memorial Cup history, with Curtis Lazar scoring the deciding goal in the third overtime to advance to the final. The event marked Edmonton’s first Memorial Cup title after multiple WHL appearances.[2][6][1]

Historical context and final standings are documented on CHL and Wikipedia pages dedicated to the tournament, including box-score style summaries and game-by-game results from the London-hosted event. The final was played at Budweiser Gardens in London, Ontario, with the Oil Kings emerging as champions.[3][2]
