Who do you guys think are some of the greatest junior hockey teams ever. Some for consideration of the top of my head are 1971-1972 Quebec, 1978-1979 Brandon, 2004-2005 London, 2009-2010 Windsor, 2010-2011 Saint John, 2012-2013 Halifax,

2015-2016 London has to be up there as well. They way they tore up the playoffs/Memorial Cup was incredible.

I'm not too sure how they would compare or even stack up with some of the teams already mentioned in this thread but if Erie wins the Memorial cup this year how do they rank . Probably down the list but Erie seems to have one of the most stacked teams I've seen in awhile.

The 95 Blazers were crazy stacked. But the 2016 Knights dominated like no other team ever has on their way to the Mem Cup. 17 straight wins.

There's also the 1989 Swift Current Broncos. 2 years after losing 4 members of the team in a bus accident, of which the 4 Broncos Memorial Trophy is named, they went 55-16-1 during the season. Had 5 players with 100+ points and 3 players with 50+ goals. They went undefeated in the WHL playoffs to take the title and lost 1 game in the Memorial Cup only to beat that team in the final round to claim the Mem Cup title. Pretty epic season.

I think the way Windsor has dominated puck possession this year makes them a consideration for one of the more dominant teams in recent memory.

I didn't follow the CHL until the late 90's, so I would rank the best from 2000 until now.

1 - '05 Knights
2 - '10 Spits
3 - '13 Mooseheads

This year's Otters (if they win tonight), last year's Knights, and the '14 Storm team that didn't win the Cup would fight for the 4 and 5 spots.

I think last years Knights could beat the 05 Knights. Since 2000 I'd go..

1. 2016 London Knights
2. 2005 London Knights
3. 2013 Halifax Mooseheads
4. 2010 Windsor Spitfires
5. 2004 Kelowna Rockets
6. 2006 Quebec Remparts
7. 2015 Oshawa Generals
8. 2009 Kelowna Rockets (Lost in the finals to Windsor but man were they fun to watch)
9. 2007 Vancouver Giants
10. 2016 Brandon Wheat Kings (I know they didn't do much in the MC but man they were a good team don't know what happened)

I can't personally vouch for them but I was always impressed by the numbers put up by Dale Hawerchuk's Cornwall Royals squads. Back-to-back memorial Cups is impressive nevertheless.

Personally off the top of my head the best has to be that 04-05 London team or those Blazers teams of the 90's. Maaayyyybbbeeeee that Halifax team in 2012
