So, it was off to the semi-finals against the powerhouse Bowness Monster, a team laden with ex-National Team players.  However, the Jets were not intimidated and, despite having to play short a man for 4 minutes when Grosz received a very questionnable match penalty, forced the game into overtime before finally losing.  Taschereau (2nd star) had a pair of goals. 
The final day was the bronze medal game against host CAMO (Montreal).  The Jets did not let the disappointment of the near miss into the gold medal game from the day before get to them and won the bronze medal 10-9 leading 10-6 with less than 4 minutes to go.  Taschereau (1st star) had 3 goals while Chung (3rd star) and Julian Filice each had two.
Chung and Taschereau made the tournament all-star team.
