It proved to be a rollercoaster season involving a huge influx of new players, a blistering start, a downward spiral, and a memorable rise up the standings — one which almost resulted in Toronto clinching an unlikely North Division title.
October: 6-1-1
Toronto placed themselves atop of the North Division in the first month of the season by winning six of eight games and scoring 30 goals in the process, a third of which came via the Marlies‘ high-flying power play.
Home advantage was put to good use as well, as the Marlies won all five games hosted at Ricoh Coliseum.
