The Wellington Dukes made it a 2-for-2 weekend, skating past the visiting St. Michael’s Buzzers on Friday and then winning handily in their first ever trip to Niagara Falls, clipping the Canucks 5-1 on Sunday.

The former Greater Ontario Junior Hockey League club who gained acceptance into the Ontario Junior Hockey League ranks this summer proved to be no match for Wellington (18-10-2) at the Gale Centre on Sunday as the locals fired 50 shots on the home side’s net in a lopsided win.

Pana Efraimidis would fire a pair of goals to pace the Wellington offence while Connor Hunt, Cory Jewitt, and Nick Dipaolo all had singles.

Up 3-1 near the end of the second, Conner Thomson-Dick’s power play tally at 17:15 was the only blemish on Jack Lisson’s outing as the lefty made 25 stops picking up his seventh win of the season.

On Friday, Wellington would win a wild back-and-forth affair over St. Mike’s but needed double overtime to do it.

Mr. Efraimidis would set up Wellington’s Zander Latreille at 5:36 for the frame’s only tally and provided the hosts a 1-0 lead after the opening stanza.

In the second, both teams sprang to life.

David Elmy would tie the game at 6:10 and then Willem Kerr gave the Buzzers their first lead of the game at the halfway mark.

But Wellington’s offence would uncoil like a snake and strike in rapid succession. Mr. Hunt would snipe his 15th of the season at 11:15 and then Mr. Quick proved to be his namesake, gobbling up an errant puck and firing his 10th goal of the year mast St. Mike’s starter Cameron Smith just 23 seconds later to restore Wellington’s one goal cushion.

The Buzzers would tie the game once again in the final minute of play in the second period with a Brandon Cohen goal.

In the third, Wellington’s Will Mitchell would again push the Dukes ahead with his 10th but Mr Cohen’s second of the contest just 28 seconds later squared the affair at 4-4.

Neither Mr. Smith nor Shane Shelest in the Wellington mesh manor would blink through to the end of regulation.

In double overtime, it was Mr. Efraimidis spotting Mr. Quick lurking and the Trenton native made no mistake, blasting his 11th of the season into the Buzzer’s net with 1:39 left in the three-on-three session.

The Dukes return the favour Thursday as they travel to historic Father David Bauer Arena to battle the Buzzers again. On Friday, Wellington hosts Haliburton County and on Sunday, the Dukes skate into the Scotiabank Pond to duel the Toronto Jr. Canadiens.
