In a spirited contest, the Terriers battled their York-Simcoe rivals, the Innisfil Winterhawks. The close checking and penalty-filled game saw the Terriers rise to the occasion with four power-play goals in their 5-3 win. Orillia's points came from Robitaille (1g,3a), Palaro (2a), Brinn Burleigh (1g), W. Winkel (1g), Norman (1g), Inglis (1g) and Quinn McConnell (1a). Mitchell earned the victory in net. Game MVP honours went to Laughlin.
In the quarter-final match, the Terriers took on the West Ferris Trappers. Orillia came out flying with goals from W.Winkel and Laughlin in the first period. In the second, Trumble scored twice to give the Terriers a 4-1 lead. Robitaille and Marwick added third-period goals to help the Terriers win 6-1. Assists went to McConnell (2a) and J. Winkel (2a), while W. Winkel, Marwick, Trumble, Norman, Palaro and Robitaille each added one assist. Neely earned the win and McConnell was named game MVP.
In semi-final action, Orillia took on Kanata again, Orillia was focused on defence, as all pitched in to help Mitchell earn the 3-0 shutout in net. Gerrard, Laughlin and Marwick were the scorers while Poore, Kearns and Norman added assists. Palaro was game MVP.
In the final game, the Terriers took on the home-team Sudbury Jr. Wolves in a fast-skating game. The Terriers opened the scoring when Robitaille hit the streaking Inglis who hammered the puck past the Wolves' goalie. The Wolves tied the game later in the frame. The teams saw chances at both ends for the remainder of the game, but both goalies kept the puck out of the net forcing the game to overtime. In overtime, the teams battled through four-on-four, three-on-three, two-on-two and, finally, two periods of one-on-one. Neely robbed the Wolves of a sure goal with his glove in the first one-on-one period, giving the Terriers and Poore the opportunity to win. Poore used his speed and lightning shot to seal the 2-1 victory and the MVP honours.
