Wellington Group hosted the game at the Sleeman Centre in Guelph. Mike Millian, president of the Private Motor Truck Council of Canada, was the referee and did the ceremonial first faceoff before the two teams took to the ice.

Wellington’s Mike Dagg scored four goals, but Sylvite’s team squeezed past with a 9-8 margin.

The next day the teams played at the Budweiser Gardens in London. Wellington came out firing, scoring early and often in a 12-4 rout.
