Despite coming off their come from behind victory, the Wings just could not get their game together in game 3 against the Burlington Wave, becoming victim to a 9-1 mercy. With game 3 a distant memory and determined to come out of the gate guns blazing, the Wings took the floor for game 4 against the Brampton Radicals. The Wings took the early lead, scoring 4 goals before the end of the first period! The Radicals would not go down without a fight...literally. They boosted their momentum just before the end of the first period by scoring their first goal. Starting the second half, that momentum was quickly destroyed by the Wings, who scored another two quick ones. Seeing their defeat imminent, the Radicals got down and dirty stepping up their physical game, however the Wings flexed back with physical play of their own. With both teams racking up the penalties and two Wings ejections later, the referees called the game with minutes left, handing the Wings their second win, a score of 9-2. Riding the wave of victory and high hopes of making the finals, the Wings entered the playoff scene against the Mississauga Mission Rattlers. Unfortunately the Wings fell to the Rattlers by a one goal deficit ending their road for gold, at this tournament anyway...
