No contest
Game 3 of the Belle River/Blenheim series saw Blenheim leading 2-games-to-none going into the game. Belle River had taken a commanding 4-1 lead in the second period at home, but after a goalie change Blenheim came back with four unanswered goals to lead the game 5-4 in the third. With six minutes to go in this "see-saw" battle, a car struck a hydro pole in the neighbouring community of Emeryville and knocked out power to the entire region. The game was called a half hour later.

The OHA determined that the incident was an "an act of God" and neither team was at fault. Three scenarios were presented as to how to handle the game, including finishing the game in Blenheim after Game 4 or before a potential Game 5 in Belle River, but all parties elected to throw out the results. A new Game 3 was played later the same day in Blenheim, resulting in a Belle River win.

Belle River would gain momentum and sweep games 3 through 6 to win the series.
