The Mustangs went 5-1 during the 2012 North American PowerHockey Cup.
Finishing 1st in their pool, the Mustangs defeated London and then the Toronto Rock to advance to the finals for the second time in as many PH Cups, where they would face the Minnesota Saints.
A bad start to the game saw the Mustangs trail 5-0 after the 1st Period, but with grit, determination and Mustang hockey climbed back into the game to eventually tie it at 8-8 with 1.3 seconds remaining in the game, only for the goal to be waived off for high-sticking. Losing to the Saints 8-7 the Mustangs proudly took home Silver.
Dean Olivas won Goalie of the Tournament.
