I was right there!! Atmosphere was nuuutss!! They had to rivet the roof back together afterwards..

[@johnmiller4973]

Shawinigan has such a incredible atmosphere even in the regular season

[@Logan_Zimmerman]

Attendance for the 2012 Memorial Cup Final was a Shawnigan Cataractes record sellout standing room only crowd of 5,250 fans.

[@johnmiller4973]

The Amphithéâtre has a full capacity of 5269 so this is believable

[@johnmiller4973]

They broke the record in the deciding game of the 2022 President Cup Final with 5,450 in the stands

Awesome - Thanks for posting! Just wondering do you guys have a copy of the 1989 memorial Cup???

[@nickcata1465]

Go RJ Broadhead, Sam Cosentino & Rob Faulds!!! I’ve met them in Sarnia one year

[@PieFights]

I met Sam Cosentino years ago in Kitchener back in the days of the OHL game of the week was on Rogers Sportsnet he was watching the warm up we talked a little bit a nice guy

Who else is annoyed by the air horn?

[@prototyp0884]

You get used to it after a handful of games

[@johnmiller4973]

I was there so I certainly was but that's Shawinigan and their fans so I can't really complain

[@johnmiller4973]

@@prototyp0884 no you don't lol 😜

[@johnmiller4973]

Of the last 15 Memorial Cups I have attended 2012 was probably my least favorite... That's not saying it was bad...it was just the outcome of the Final

[@Jeri0ux]

2009 was worse, was 3-0 in like 5 minutes, game was already decided.

[@jackmann9031]

Such a shame... London fought through all comers in the OHL playoffs and the Memorial Cup. What did Shawinigan do? 2 month rest prior to the Mem Cup.

[@paulmargani7103]

shawinigan deserved their first memorial cup in franchise history and london already won their first one in 2005.

And then the drunk Cataractes players dropped the trophy during their parade!!!
