Summary
editThe club began preparations for the 2012 season by making an agreement with PEAC School for Elite Athletes for the access of their facilities and expertise of qualified instructors.[1] The managerial structure changed with Tony De Thomasis returning to the helm as head coach. York's schedule saw them kick off their season at home on May 6, with the Shooters winning 1–0 thanks to a goal from Aundrae Rollins.[2] Following their victory at home the club achieved a four game undefeated streak. After receiving their first defeat of the season on June 1 against the Serbian White Eagles the club recovered with a fourteen game undefeated streak with only two defeats recorded throughout the season.
The organization managed a fifth place standing in the First Division as a result secured a postseason berth. In the preliminary round of the playoffs the Shooters defeated the Windsor Stars, but were eliminated in the following round by the Montreal Impact Academy.[3] Meanwhile in the Second Division their reserve team clinched their fifth consecutive playoff berth after finishing seventh in the standings. The team reached the semifinals, but were defeated by Brampton City United B by a score of 2–0.[3]
