KITCHENER, Ont. - The Gatineau Olympiques were the first team eliminated from the 2008 MasterCard Memorial Cup with a 3-1 loss to the Spokane Chiefs on Tuesday.

The Quebec Major Junior Hockey League champions (0-3) held a lead for the first time in the tournament in the first period, but didn't have enough gas in their tank to defend it and force a tiebreaker game Thursday.

Remember '91!

GO CHIEFS!!!!
