The Acadie-Bathurst Titan beat the host Regina Pats 3-0 Sunday night to claim the Memorial Cup — the first Canadian Hockey League championship in the team’s 20-year history. “It’s a statement for a small market: We won the cup,” said Bathurst Mayor Paolo Fongemie. With a population of just under 12,000 people, Bathurst is the smallest market to win the Memorial Cup since Flin Flon, Manitoba, won it in 1957. The team first arrived in the city in 1998 and played for the Memorial Cup in 1999 in Ottawa but didn’t win. The Titan are the first Quebec Major Junior Hockey League team to capture the Canadian major junior championship since 2013.
