The Vaughan Flames didn't much care about the odds beating a heavily favored home team, Golden Seals in the round robin to secure a spot in the semis.
The Golden Seals, with their only loss coming from the Flames, met the Goody's team from New Brunswick in the first semi, defeating them 5-3 to set up a rematch against the Flames, who got by a tough Huskies team by a score of 5-1.
The Flames struck first in the final, with a good solo effort by Dennis Di Biase. That goal would end up being the lone goal of the game as the Flames shut the Seals out to take the NBHAC Tier III Canada Cup.
