Maineics Sweep: US-Based Junior Hockey Team Plays for Canadian Memorial Cup (Montreal Gazette)

Maineiacs sweep into Memorial Cup
U.S. Team goes 16-1 on way to 'Q' title
There are no shortcuts to the Memorial Cup and no team probably understands that better than the border-crossing Lewiston MAINEiacs, who became the first U.S.-based team to capture the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League playoff crown Wednesday with a four-game sweep of the Val d'Or Foreurs.
The MAINEiacs, who routinely endure 51/2-hour bus trips to their closest road games in Drummondville and Saint John, N.B., will be overjoyed to know they've won more than sipping rights to the President's Cup - they've also earned a plane trip to Vancouver for the 2007 Memorial Cup tournament, May 18-27.
