They won the organization's first ever AA season-ending title after capturing the York Simcoe championship that culminated with a 6-1 win over the Aurora Tigers in the final game of their first-to-six-point final series in Aurora. The Clippers got off to an impressive start by scoring the game's first two goals off the sticks of Nolan MacInnis and Sam Atanackovich to take a 2-1 lead entering the first intermission. Carrying that momentum into the second period, the Clippers put some breathing room between themselves and Aurora by adding two more goals, from Adrian McCartney and Joel Roberts, to take a 4-1 advantage. The Clippers' iced the game with empty-net markers from James Carlin and MacInnis. Jackson Brandon and Connor Hicks earned assists. Clippers' netminder Dalton Lehman was solid. The series came down to the final game after Aurora staved off elimination by defeating the Clippers 3-2 at the Stouffville Arena Saturday. In that game, the two clubs played to a 1-1 tie through the opening period before Aurora scored two unanswered goals in the second. The Clippers battled back with a goal late in the third period from MacInnis, but could get no closer. Roberts scored the Clippers' first goal with an assist from McCartney. Coached by Phil von Kaufmann, Chris Burkholder and Chuck Vasconcelos, other team members contributing to the Clippers' title run included: goalkeeper Thomas Morgan, Ben Partridge, Aaron Jackson, Chandler Gloyns, Myles Craven, Sam Burkholder, Ryan von Kaufmann, Michael Freitas and Nick Smith.
