As a result of the changes the club changed its name to York Region Shooters, reflecting the previous merger in 2003 and the larger area of York Region the club has played in and represents. [2]
Former player Filipe Bento took over the reign of head coach and clinched the club's third regular season championship by finishing first in the standings. [3] Their postseason journey came to an abrupt end after losing 3–1 on goals on aggregate to Toronto Croatia.
