The London Knights celebrated their 40th season in the Ontario Hockey League by setting a new CHL record with a 32-game undefeated streak that lasted until January. They shattered several OHL and CHL records, including becoming the first team in OHL history to record back-to-back 50-win and 100-point seasons. The Knights capped one of the most memorable seasons in Canadian Hockey League history with a 4-0 win over the Rimouski Oceanic in the championship final game of the 2005 MasterCard Memorial Cup. The host London Knights became the second straight team to win the Memorial Cup on home ice. It was the fifth year in a row that the QMJHL champion lost in the Memorial Cup final game. The Memorial Cup was originally known as the OHA Memorial Cup and was donated by the Ontario Hockey Association in March, 1919. Initially the Cup was awarded to the national junior hockey champions of Canada. Later on it came to signify Junior 'A' hockey supremacy when in 1934, junior hockey in Canada was divided into 'A' and 'B' classifications. In 1971, junior 'A' hockey was divided once again to form a major junior and a Tier 'II' level. The Memorial Cup was awarded to the higher category. In 1972, a round-robin tournament format replaced the old play-down system to determine the champions. Since then, the champions of the Western Hockey League (WHL), the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League (QMJHL) and the Ontario Hockey League (OHL), along with a host club, have met each spring in a round-robin series with the two top teams playing off in a sudden-death game to determine the Cup champions.
