The Hamilton Hogs are definitely one of the most improved teams of 2007. With an experienced qb complementing their athletic core, the Hogs made some impressive moves early this season.
In Hamilton, they earned a birth in the elite semi-finals. Despite coming up short in that contest, it was certainly a step in right direction for this team.
The Hogs dropped their first three matches in Kingston, however, they rebounded nicely for their remaining play-off contests, making their way to the “BB” finals to face the red hot Montreal Hitmen.
Quarter-Finals
Hamilton Hogs 28 vs Hamilton Dolphins 19
Montreal Hitmen 37 vs Burlington Bulls 16
Mississauga Rebels 32 vs Montreal Vandals 21
Ottawa Storm 20 vs Ottawa Seminoles
Semi-Finals
Hamilton Hogs 28 vs Ottawa Storm 0

Aside from a hard fought loss to the Landell Lightning in preliminary action, the Hitmen dominated their opponents. They would hand several one-sided defeats to their opposition before being silenced by the deeper-benched Hogs in the finals.
The Hogs shut-out the high-scoring Hitmen 22 to 0, to capture their first title of the season. Congratulations gentlemen!
