David Laren joined the Spirit in 2002 as an equal partner. Goldberg left the group in 2005. Schmidt retired as GM after the 2000-2001 season. His replacement is Stouffville native Ken Burrows, who in 10 years with the Spirit has been vice-president of hockey, assistant coach and scout. A volunteer board of directors oversees the operation of the Spirit. The Spirit is proud to be affiliated with the Whitchurch-Stouffville Minor Hockey Association and the Uxbridge Bruins Junior C Hockey Club. The Spirit had a solid 2011-12 regular season, playing 49 regular season games and six preseason games. Despite looking weak in the 2011 preseason, the Stouffville Spirit would finish the 2011-12 OJHL season with 29 victories, two overtime wins, one shootout win, five overtime losses, four shootout losses, and eight losses. The Spirit finished second overall in the North-Division and finished 6th overall among the 27 teams in the entire league from the North, West, South, and East divisions with 73 points at the end of the 2011-12 OJHL season. The Spirit played out of the North-West Conference; being the smaller among the two in the league consisting of 13 teams while the other consisted of 14. The Spirit would have to battle hard through the highly competitive North-Division, being the smallest among the four, only having six teams while the three others had seven. Due to the Spirit finishing among the top two teams in the North-Division they would receive a bye of the division quarterfinals along with the top two teams from the three other divisions. The top two teams from the North-Division would turn out to be the Newmarket Hurricanes and of course the Stouffville Spirit. The Spirit would then play the winner of the third and sixth seeded North-Division Quarterfinal round. After the Spirit received their bye in the first round, the Aurora Tigers would beat the Orangeville Flyers 3-1 in a best of five series, this would see the Stouffville Spirit play the Aurora Tigers in the North-Division Semi-Finals for a best of seven series. The Spirit would easily upset the Tigers, taking the series in five which would then send the Spirit to the North-Division Final against the Newmarket Hurricanes. The Hurricanes would turn out to have the same playoff format as the Spirit, receiving a bye of the first round and later on beating the Markham Waxers in six in the North-Division Semi-Finals, which would then send the Hurricanes to face off against the Spirit in the North-Division Final.
