In three seasons behind the bench of the Kitchener Rangers, Jussi Ahokas has become well-known for his impeccably slicked-back hair.

So when Ahokas proudly sported a baseball cap after Tuesday’s championship win, it turned heads.

“I only wear hats when we win championships,” he told beat reporter Josh Brown.

And if that wasn’t enough of a departure from the norm, his players made sure the celebration was complete, drenching their coach with a vat full of orange Gatorade.

It was a fitting celebration for a Rangers team that has steamrolled its way through the field since the January trade deadline, losing just two playoff games along the way.

Now the Blueshirts are headed to Kelowna, where they’ll face the host Rockets and the yet-to-be-determined champions of the WHL and QMJHL for the Memorial Cup.

“They say Kelowna is nice this time of year,” Ahokas said.

The Windsor Spitfires have lost a cornerstone piece of their future.

Former first-overall OHL pick Ethan Belchetz announced Tuesday he will leave Windsor for the Michigan State Spartans despite still having at least two years of junior eligibility remaining — a development that caught GM Bill Bowler off guard.

“This new landscape, for us to draft the first overall pick, and for him to leave after two years, never in my wildest dreams did I think that could happen to this franchise,” Bowler said.

Belchetz, who suffered a broken left clavicle in early March, is one of the top prospects for the 2026 NHL Draft.
