The two-time OHL coach of the year has been behind the bench for nearly 1,500 games in his 22 seasons in the league, but has yet to capture major junior hockey’s biggest prize.

Burnett made five trades between Jan. 4 and the Jan. 10 OHL trade deadline, helping bring Guelph to its sixth Memorial Cup appearance. The Storm went 22-5-3 down the stretch with just one loss on the road.

Entwistle and Gordeev played at one time for Burnett in Hamilton. Suzuki was a childhood friend of captain Isaac Ratcliffe, with the duo playing minor hockey together in London, Ont., before cracking the OHL and Phillips shares the same hometown as Burnett — Port Perry, Ont. Meanwhile, defenceman Jack Hanley, acquired in the pre-season, was drafted by Burnett in Belleville before the Bulls moved to Hamilton.

"Those kids had been through the rebuild, reload, whatever you want to call it and this was an opportunity we needed to take," Burnett said. He returned to the OHL in 2000 and spent four years with the Oshawa Generals before joining Belleville in 2004, an organization he would stay with for 12 seasons, capped by the 2015-16 season when the Bulls relocated to Hamilton.
