Complete and utter dominance. The North Bay Trappers did not lose a game en route to a third-straight GNML regular-season title, rolling through their 36-game schedule unblemished. They played in just four one-goal games and hit double-digits on seven occasions (in addition to six nine-goal outings), finishing with 276 goals (an average of 7.67 per game), and the league’s top five scorers (Zachary Lefebvre led the way with 86 points). At the other end of the rink, North Bay had 11 shutouts and allowed only 42 goals, with goaltenders Benjamin Gaudreau (1.13) and Reece Proulx (1.20) sitting one-two in GAA.
