In their third and final contest of the round robin, they fell to the Winnipeg Sharks by a score of 4-3, which put the Prince Albert team in third place for the tournament.

In the tournament semi finals, the Chill came out on top with a commanding 9-4 victory over the Saskatoon Sabercats. P.A. was helped in this game in a big way by Jack Kowblick who had a hat trick.

The win against Saskatoon propelled the Chill into the tournament final where they took on the Winnipeg Sharks once again.
