We went from a team that no one was worried about during the regular season to league championship finalists and a real giant killer in the playoffs; knocking off Kitchener in 7 games, Toronto in 5 games before finally succumbing to Guelph in the finals. It was a great feeling from being the owner of the team, but also from being a fan of the game. I can't even begin to describe the electricity in the air during our home games in the playoffs. For that Scott Dart - brief period in time all the talk was about the incredible run that the Majors were on and speculating on far we were going to go.
