Since they won Game 5 of the Presidents' Cup Final to take a 3-2 series lead, the Quebec Remparts have had three opportunities in the last ten days to eliminate the Rimouski Oceanic and claim the QMJHL title for the 2015 season. In the Q playoffs, Rimouski rallied to win Game 6 and Game 7 to win the QMJHL, though both advanced to the Memorial Cup by virtue of Quebec's role as host.
Last night, the two teams met again to close out the round robin portion of the Memorial Cup tournament. The Remparts entered the game with a 1-1 record, and had the opportunity to eliminate the Oceanic, who were 0-2.
