I'll let Eric post the official results.
I was there at the Gloucester fairgrounds as a spectator (since I don't live in Ontario) - what a beautiful day for an outdoor event! Dozens of spectators lay on the grass or guzzled beer on picnic tables while they watched the matches under a cloudless sky (most of the day).
The day started with the kid's classes - the upset of the day probably being Gryptonite's (Grippler's son) losses to one of Jeff Penney's kids.
I got lots of practice time (after a 2-hour practice the day before) with Joel Goodsell, Rick Blanchard, and others (but Joanne Langlois - you must cut your nails :-) )

Hugh, I agree, great day and great atmosphere.
Eric, thanks for putting together such a great provincials. To those who missed it - your loss!
I am pleased to win another title, and pleased about the BAC's strong showing.
Also, biggest/nicest trophy I have ever won.
Grippler - great pulling!

Thanks Eric for all the work, nice trophies, kids tourney, draws and all. Congrats to all the winners and to all the pullers for the great efforts. Thanks to all the people that worked hard to make this happen. as far as I'm concerned, Ontario armwrestlers are the wizard's tits. Great spirit. Brian, you're still the big boss man. Great to see Smilin' Rick again.

Eric's trophies were in my opinion obviously, ridiculously to big and awesome for the Ontario provincial championships. I feel he did it to undermined the nationals as they will clearly not be able to provided the level of awesome that Erick did! I would also like to take this time to say that i am disappointed in the voting process as i feel i am clearly more awesome than Eric is and I should of been voted President!!! Eric is a weeny! I would also like to congratulate the young penny brothers for their pure awesomness Liam said he wants to train for a rematch!!!! good on ya boy's!
as for me my first provincial championship victory!!! can't say i am too surprised as i declared my self the victor after last years miserable third place finishes! So it was a calculated victory with no other outcome regardless of who did or did not show up!!!
hopefully I will be able to go to nationals this year and if so........I will win!!!that is alll!
p.s Joe Gould is a god!
Grippler out!
