In game one, the Pens beat County Islanders 7-2, before handing an 8-3 loss to Northside Vikings.
It was an 8-5 loss to New Waterford Sharks in the third game, but the team bounced back for a 5-0 shutout of Glace Bay in their final round robin game.
Against New Waterford in the semi-final, East Hants got revenge for the round-robin loss picking up the 3-1 win.
That setup a championship final and rematch with Glace Bay.
In the final, they once again blanked the Miners this time 6-0 to secure and bring home the tournament banner.
