Toronto Jr. Canadiens, Detroit HoneyBaked to Face-Off in Saturday's OHL Cup Final
Published on April 2, 2026 under Ontario Hockey League (OHL) News Release
TORONTO - An exciting day of Quarterfinal and Semi-Final action at the 2026 OHL Cup saw two teams emerge as competitors for Saturday's Championship Final at the Mattamy Athletic Centre in Toronto, starting at 2:00pm.
The GTHL finalist Toronto Jr. Canadiens will face a powerhouse Detroit HoneyBaked team in a game that will be streamed live on FloHockey's social media and YouTube accounts when the puck drops on Saturday afternoon. Tickets for the game can be purchased on Ticketmaster.
HoneyBaked defeated the Markham Majors and London Jr. Knights in Thursday's action while the Jr. Canadiens outlasted TPH Academy and defeated Upper Canada College on a game-winner from standout underage defenceman Kade O'Rourke late in the third period.
London Jr. Knights forward Drew Bate stands-out as the tournament goal-scoring leader with seven, being knotted for the lead in points with Jr. Canadiens forwards Brayden Grima and Kash Kwajah with 13.
On the blueline London's Ryan Beaulieu leads tournament scoring among defenders with 11 points (5-6--11) while the aforementioned O'Rourke trails with 10 (4-6--10).
In goal, HoneyBaked netminder Carter Nash sits tied with Upper Canada College's Joseph Grixti for the tournament lead in wins with four each while the Jr. Canadiens tandem of Marko Mesich and Zidane Jasey each have three as JRC has surrendered just six goals in as many games.
Saturday's final sees the Jr. Canadiens chasing a second straight OHL Cup title while Detroit HoneyBaked becomes the first American team to advance to the Championship Final in the history of the showcase.
