For the third year in a row, the Men's "A" division saw the Toronto Leafs and Niagara War Pigs face off. With the Toronto Leafs having won the first two meetings the War Pigs wasted no time getting the game started. Fantastic goaltending on each end of the floor saw the first period remain scoreless.

The War Pigs went into the second period breaking the tie with a goal by Darren Chapman just 47 seconds into the period. Munavar Hamdani and Michael Neilson also scored to give the Pigs the 3-0 advantage. Matt Tremblett set the tone for the third period scoring scoring just 24 seconds into the 3rd period to give the Leafs a two goal deficit. The action was fast and furious at both ends for the remainder of the period but after the Pigs got an empty net goal the writing was on the wall.
