While killing penalties, the momentum shifted back to ASA who did not relinquish their lead throughout the power play. Having served their penalties and back to full strength the Tippinators mounted a spirited push to regain the momentum.

The last minute rush came to late to affect the outcome and Waterloo ASA went on to a 12-8 victory.

After a brief rest the team took to the field against the powerful, league leading Scotia Shock. The team was under no illusions that victory was possible. Shock had completely dominated every team in the league with an average 11 point margin of victory.

The game proved to be a great learning experience. Playing against superior a team quickly identifies the errors in your own game. When the dust settled Shock's margin over the Tippinators was 12 points, comparable to every other team in the league. Plus all team members learned from the experience and improved because of it.

The team gave it everything they had but were unable to improve their league ranking, finishing out the season with a sixth place finish.

Chris 'Fuzzy' Landry was happy with the season as a whole. "We went from rookie three man in 2007 to holding our own against the best in the east in open X-Ball." Landry continued, "2008 was a year for us to step up to new challenges, and I don't see why 2009 should be any different."
