Cheer on the London Knights on Dundas Place in the heart of downtown

The City of London, in partnership with the London Knights, Downtown London, and Tourism London, is hosting free viewings on Dundas Place for the community to watch the London Knights in their Memorial Cup run.

Starting at 4 p.m. on Saturday, May 25, Londoners are encouraged to wear green and join Dundas Place in the block of Dundas Street from Talbot to Ridout streets as the Knights take on the Drummondville Voltigeurs.

“We are so proud to gather together on our beautiful, transformational street downtown and support the Ontario Hockey League Champions, our London Knights,” says Mayor Josh Morgan. “Many City staff, including the deputy mayor and myself, will be in our jerseys, cheering on from Dundas Place for these Memorial Cup Games. Good luck to the London Knights!”

“London loves our Knights and, as an avid hockey fan, I am excited to head down to Dundas Place to watch this talented team continue to put pucks in the net and wins on the board,” adds Deputy Mayor Shawn Lewis. “Together, let’s make sure our team hears us cheer them on from the heart of our vibrant downtown!”

A live viewing will also take place on Dundas Place starting at 7:30 p.m. for game two against the Moose Jaw Warriors on Monday, May 27 and again at 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday, May 29 when the Knights face off against the Saginaw Spirit.

This is also a wonderful opportunity to support a downtown business, enjoy one of the many nearby patios, and explore local shops that make Dundas Place the most exciting street in the city.

Dundas Place between Ridout and Talbot streets will be closed starting this Saturday morning, May 25, at 7 a.m. until 1 p.m. on Thursday, May 30.

Public washrooms will be available on site. 

Saturday’s game marks the sixth time since 2005 the London Knights have competed in the Memorial Cup.

Best of luck to all the players! Go Knights Go!
