Matthew Highmore and Nathan Noel finished off their Quebec Major Junior Hockey League season on top.
The pair of Blackhawks prospects helped the Saint John Sea Dogs knock off the Blainville-Boisbriand Armada 5-1 Wednesday to complete the series sweep and capture the President's Cup. Highmore scored a goal and two assists in the series-clinching victory, and finished second on the team with 24 points (six goals and 18 assists) in 18 playoff games.
Noel contributed with two goals and seven assists, two of them coming while shorthanded.
Highmore, 21, and Noel, 19, each signed entry-level contracts with the Blackhawks in March and April, both of which will begin in 2017-18.
The Sea Dogs will now advance to the Memorial Cup, where they will compete in a four-team, round-robin tournament from May 19-28 to determine the champion of the Canadian Hockey League. One of those teams is likely to feature Blackhawks top prospect Alex DeBrincat and the Erie Otters, who own a 3-1 series lead in the Ontario Hockey League Championship Series.
