Marian Studenic scored the winner as the Hamilton Bulldogs edged Swift Current 2-1 to win their first game at the Memorial Cup despite a standout performance from Broncos goaltender Stuart Skinner.
Studenic received a back-door pass from Benjamin Gleason with just over two minutes remaining.
Skinner, an Edmonton Oilers prospect, stopped 54 shots in defeat and kept Hamilton shooters frustrated for the majority of the night.
Mackenzie Entwistle, on the power play, also scored for the Ontario Hockey League's Bulldogs (1-1).
Colby Sissons found the back of the net for Swift Current (0-2), which faces a must-win game tomorrow night against Western Hockey League rival and host Regina (1-1).
Kaden Fulcher made 20 saves to earn the win in net.
