Page "Brampton Battalion" Paragraph 20

The 2007 – 08 season saw the team celebrate their 10th season of OHL hockey and the fans saw a great team on the ice as things went much better for the Battalion, with sophomore centre Cody Hodgson, rookie forward Matt Duchene, and veteran winger John Hughes, the team posted several wins finishing with a 42-22-1-3 record, just shy of the club record of 91 points set in 05 – 06.

During the season the Battalion had their first 10 goal game in club history as on September 23 the host Battalion beat up on the Sudbury Wolves 10-2.

For the 3rd time in 6 years the team took home the Central Division Championship.

In the first round the Battalion once again were set to face the Barrie Colts, who this season had lost many of their key players and had only finished 7th in the east.

With Brampton heavily favored to win the series the Colts shocked as Barrie won the first two games by 2-1 and 3-2 ( OT ) scores.

The Battalion were able to come back and win game 3 by a score of 5-1 however the Colts would continue to stand behind the absolutely amazing goaltending of Michael Hutchinson in game 4 winning 2-1 in overtime.

With Brampton on the brink of elimination on home ice in game 5 Hutchinson stood tall again as the Colts won the game 2-0 and upset the Battalion in only five games.

For the 3rd straight year Brampton had been eliminated by the Barrie Colts.
