At the 4th annual Eastern Canada Cup held in Toronto, the OG Capitals won the B Division with a 4-0 shutout over the Chicago's Red Liners. Congratulations guys! The Round Robin began on Friday at the University of Toronto's Varsity Arena where the OG Capitals defeated Toronto's Wolfpack 2 - 1. On the following day, games were played at the historic renovated former NHL arena, the Maple Leaf Gardens. The OG Capitals were defeated in two games: Chicago Red Liner 2 - 0; and Montreal 1 - 0. However, on Sunday at the Varsity Arena, with so much determination, the team defeated Montreal in semi-final 1 - 0 which had brought them to victory in the final over the Chicago Red Liners. This is the 4th consecutive first place finish for the OG Capitals - Eastern Canada Cup 2011 - Montreal; Boston Beanpot Classic - 2012; Minto Adult Hockey League (MAHL) - 2012). Once again, congratulations OG Capitals!

Tied 2-2 after regulation against Toronto Reloaded (who were also undefeated at this point), it took 4 overtime periods and 8 shooters from each team to decide the winner of this first ''Boston Beanpot Classic''. On a goal by the captain (Kevin G), the OG Capitals took home the coveted beanpot! Congrats to the boys once again! At this point, the OG Capitals have won two straight tournaments by being undefeated (10-0-0).
