The 2011-12 Burlington Bulldogs have won the Alliance AA Championship, defeating a very strong London Jr Knights team (ranked in the Top 20 in Ontario) in overtime of Game 7. This was a best-of-seven series that saw the Bulldogs take a 3 games to 1 lead, followed by a come-back by London to tie the series. In Game 7 the Bulldogs regrouped and never fell behind in the game, although London tied the game 2-2 with a goal late in the third period. In their usual resilient fashion, the Bulldogs bounced back and scored in overtime to win the game. This victory follows a season last year where the Bulldogs played London in the finals and lost Game 7 in overtime. The Bulldogs continued to get stronger each game of the playoffs, winning 7 of their final 10 games. Next year, the team has its sights on claiming the championship once again and earning a birth in the Ontario Hockey Federation Championships where the top AA teams in the province compete for the provincial championship.
