[edit] 2006-07 Wildcats Season
Monkton, coming off an 8-17-0 season in 2005-06, slipped a little bit, going 7-17-0, and finishing in 8th place in the South Division. The Wildcats were given a bit of a scare in their opening playoff round against the Thedford Dirty Dogs before winning the series 2 games to 1. The Wildcats opened the series with a close 6-5 victory, before Thedford turned the tables in game 2 and won 2-1, the first ever victory for the Dirty Dogs franchise (they had gone 0-23-1 in the regular season), before Monkton closed the series off with another hard fought victory, winning by a score of 3-2.
The Wildcats would go on to face the Durham Thundercats in the "A" quarter-finals, and the teams would split the first 4 games, with both of Monkton's wins coming in overtime. Durham would then play a very tight defensive game, holding Monkton to 1 goal in the final 2 games, to eliminate the Wildcats from post-season play.
[edit] 2007-08 Wildcats Season
The Wildcats would have their best season since 2003-04, as the team had a record of 10-15-1, earning 21 points, however, they would remain in 8th place in the South Division.
Monkton would face off against the Wingham Bulls in a best of 3 qualifying series, with the winner advancing to the WOAA "A" playoffs. The Wildcats would easily win the series opener, defeating the Bulls 10-5, and then complete the series sweep with a close 7-6 win in the 2nd game.
The Wildcats would face the Palmerston 81's in the "A" quarter-finals, and Monkton would surprise Palmerston by winning the series opener 4-3 in OT, followed by a solid 2-1 win in the 2nd game to take a 2-0 series lead. Palmerston stormed back, winning the next 2 games to even the series up, however, Monkton would once again take the series lead with a 4-0 shutout in the 5th game. The Wildcats were unable to close out the series in the 6th game, as Palmerston won by a 4-3 score, and the 81's would complete the comeback, defeating Monkton in the 7th and final game 5-4, eliminating Monkton from the playoofs.
