The Flames defeated the Kamloops Venom in the best-of-five final series, 3-1, the scores for the series were 16-15 2OT, 12-9, 7-9, 5-4.
The Flames are one of the original members of the league, joining in 2000. After many lean league seasons, struggling to floor a team and almost folding as a organization throughout the past 20 seasons, they have preserved and now are on top of the league.
The Flames are now expected to participate in the junior B provincial championship game, against a team from the BC Junior B Tier 1 Lacrosse League, of which the date and team are yet to be determined.
