Oshawa Generals when Memorial Cup in overtime

QUEBEC CITY - Twenty-five years ago, the Oshawa Generals won a Memorial Cup title in double-overtime in Hamilton, Ont.

Anthony Cirelli wasn't waiting that long.

In the last game of a 66-year-old Pepsi Colisee that didn't seem to want to say good-bye, the 17-year-old rookie centre from Woodbridge, Ont., banged home a rebound 1:28 into the first overtime for a 2-1 victory over the Kelowna Rockets before 10,391 Sunday night in the Cup final.

Cirelli scored both of his team's goals. He had two in the OHL playoffs.

For Oshawa, it ends a 25-year Cup drought that ended in front of a partisan Generals crowd that travelled to Quebec for the weekend.
