Regular season

The team began with a disappointing 2-6 start to the season. With playoff hopes in jeopardy following a last second loss to the Blue Bombers on August 24, the team turned things around with two big wins against their rivals from Hamilton. Pinball led the group to a 9-1 finish and a sixth straight playoff appearance.
