In 2006, he returned to Ottawa St. Anthony Italia, and was named the team captain. Throughout the season he contributed in securing the Ontario Cup, and the Canadian National Challenge Cup. He managed to win his second Open Canada Cup by defeating his former club the Toronto Lynx in a 2–0 victory over the professional club.
