2005 Travis Roy Foundation WIFFLE Ball TournamentThe tournament was expanded to 16 teams. Inspired by the Zambonis, a team of local high school athletes named the Hockey Monkeys were the underdog coming into the 2005 event. They had lost all of their games the previous year. The Hockey Monkeys were led by pitcher and team captain Scotty Willson. They quickly became the sentimental favorite. Although nobody expected the Hockey Monkeys to make the playoffs, they not only made the playoffs, they found themselves in the championship game against the defending champion Comets Express. With the crowd on their side, the Hockey Monkeys stunned the Comets Express 5-4 to win the championship. Cinderella had arrived at Little Fenway. Scotty Willson was named the MVP. $44,000 was raised for the Travis Roy Foundation.
