Guelph Storm coach George Burnett eyes his first Memorial Cup title Globe_Sports

Terry Wilson/The Canadian Press

“I can’t speak for everybody else but it certainly had its ups and downs and momentum swings and a number of highs and lows, absolutely,” said Burnett. “It’s terrific to come out on top and I give the kids a lot of credit for staying resilient.” The two-time OHL coach of the year has coached nearly 1,500 games in his 22 seasons in the OHL and is currently fifth all-time in wins with 706, but has yet to capture major junior hockey’s biggest prize.

Burnett says he never intended to overhaul the roster the way he did, but the opportunities were too good to pass on. He focused not only on skill, but leadership and chemistry.
