It was another busy week on the ice for Quinte-area junior hockey clubs, with the Wellington Dukes and Trenton Golden Hawks putting together impressive performances, while the Picton Pirates split their two games.
The Golden Hawks continued to build momentum with four consecutive victories before seeing their streak come to an end Tuesday night. Wellington also enjoyed a successful weekend, collecting wins over St. Michael’s and North York.
Here’s a look at the latest action from around the region.
WELLINGTON DUKES
Dukes Blank Buzzers as Riley Records First Shutout
Friday, November 6 – Wellington 5, St. Michael’s 0
Dryden Riley turned in a standout performance Friday night, stopping everything sent his way as the Wellington Dukes shut out the St. Michael’s Buzzers 5-0 at the Duke Dome.
Wellington wasted little time establishing control, getting first-period goals from Landon Marleau, Sammy Longo and Cooper Woron to build an early advantage.
The Dukes added two more in the second, with Blake Berthiaume breaking free for a shorthanded marker at 12:19. Zach Anderson followed with a sharp-angle finish in the final minute of the period to make it 5-0.
From there, Wellington concentrated on protecting its lead and preserving Riley’s first shutout of the 2026-27 campaign.
Marleau scored his 19th of the season, while Longo and Woron recorded their fifth and third goals respectively.
Justin Doak and Jayden Levesque each contributed a pair of assists. Cole Ellis also picked up an assist in his return to the lineup following a stint in the BCHL.
Anderson, Brandon Mann, Oliver Coyle, Mac Chisholm and Marco Wolf added single assists.
Former Toronto Junior Canadiens? No – former Toronto Warrior Lucas Hill made his Dukes debut and delivered a solid two-way performance.
The victory improved Wellington’s record to 12-6-3.
Berthiaume Plays Overtime Hero as Dukes Edge Rangers
Sunday, November 8 – Wellington 4, North York 3 (OT)
The Dukes wrapped up their weekend with another exciting victory, this time overcoming the North York Rangers 4-3 in overtime at Herb Carnegie Arena.
Blake Berthiaume delivered the winning goal after Wellington successfully killed off a penalty in overtime. Gavin Godick helped create the opportunity, setting up Berthiaume for the decisive finish on the Dukes’ only shot of the extra period.
North York opened the scoring in the first period, but the offence picked up in the second as both teams traded goals.
Landon Marleau got Wellington on the board with his 20th of the season, finishing a setup from Zach Anderson and Jayden Levesque.
Levesque then added his fifth of the campaign on the power play at 13:10, briefly tying the contest before North York responded just 13 seconds later to regain the lead.
The Rangers carried their 2-1 advantage into the third, but Marleau struck again, connecting with Anderson on a give-and-go before burying his 21st goal of the season on the power play at 6:44.
Justin Doak picked up the second assist, extending his point streak to six games.
With the score tied 3-3, the teams headed to overtime, where Berthiaume completed the comeback with his sixth goal of the season and second shorthanded marker in as many games.
Godick’s contribution was particularly impressive, coming just a day after helping his team earn a bronze medal at the Under-17 Challenge in Oakville.
Wellington outshot North York 36-29, with Riley turning aside 26 shots.
TRENTON GOLDEN HAWKS
Newcomers Lead the Way as Hawks Extend Winning Streak
Friday, November 6 – Trenton 6, Newmarket 3
The Trenton Golden Hawks continued their climb with a convincing 6-3 victory over the Newmarket Hurricanes Friday night, extending their winning streak to three games.
Pacey Adduono and Thomas Harnett were among the offensive standouts as Trenton bounced back from a 7-3 loss to Newmarket earlier in the season.
The Hurricanes struck first, scoring just 42 seconds into the contest, but Evan Norris quickly responded for Trenton, converting a rebound opportunity for his seventh of the season.
Newmarket regained the lead at 11:25, but the Hawks answered with two goals in just 11 seconds. Charlie Gage tied things up with his sixth of the year before Harnett put Trenton in front.
After Newmarket pulled even early in the second, Adduono took charge offensively.
The former Peterborough Petes forward scored twice in a span of just 31 seconds, first at even strength and then again on the power play, giving the Hawks some breathing room.
Trenton maintained control through the remainder of the contest, with Kaiden Harmon adding an empty-net goal in the final minutes to seal the 6-3 decision.
Beckett Ewart, Ryan Foley, Norris, Harmon and Harnett all recorded multiple-point performances.
Jax Martin, Wyatt Gregory, Ethan Brassard and Liam Fisher also contributed assists.
Eli Zucker stopped 30 of 33 shots to earn his third consecutive personal victory.
Zucker Shuts Out Buzzers as Hawks Make It Four Straight
Sunday, November 8 – Trenton 3, St. Michael’s 0
The Golden Hawks made it four wins in a row Sunday afternoon, delivering a strong defensive performance in a 3-0 shutout of the St. Michael’s Buzzers in Toronto.
Eli Zucker was once again outstanding between the pipes, stopping all 25 shots he faced to record his second shutout in five appearances since joining Trenton.
After a scoreless opening period, Beckett Ewart broke through less than five minutes into the second.
The Cobourg native carried the puck through the middle before snapping a shot over Jonathan Frattaroli’s glove to give Trenton the lead. Nathan McHattie and captain Wyatt Gregory picked up the assists.
The Hawks continued to limit St. Michael’s opportunities in the third, while Zucker took care of everything that came his way.
Pacey Adduono provided some insurance late in the period, scoring his third goal in two games as a Golden Hawk off a feed from Liam Fisher.
Kaiden Harmon added an empty-net goal, his eighth of the season and second consecutive game with an empty-net marker.
Trenton finished with a commanding 40-27 advantage in shots, handing the Buzzers their second consecutive shutout loss and fifth straight defeat overall.
Late Muskies Rally Ends Hawks’ Winning Run
Tuesday, November 10 – Trenton 2, Lindsay 3
The Golden Hawks saw their four-game winning streak come to an end Tuesday afternoon, falling 3-2 to the Lindsay Muskies in front of a lively School Day crowd at the Dunc.
Trenton controlled much of the opening period, outshooting Lindsay 13-7, but couldn’t find a way past Muskies goaltender Luka Gelinas.
Lindsay opened the scoring midway through the second when Quinte Red Devils graduate Jack Foley redirected a point shot past Eli Zucker.
The Hawks responded just over a minute later. Evan Norris finished a pass from Owen Rivers to register his eighth goal of the season and even the score.
Trenton carried that momentum into the third, with defenceman Nathan McHattie putting the Hawks ahead at 2:35. McHattie capitalized on a rebound off Gelinas’ right pad to record his first goal of the campaign.
However, Lindsay wasn’t finished.
Grant Jokic scored twice on the power play before Foley added another goal on a bouncing puck with approximately seven minutes remaining, turning a Trenton lead into a Muskies victory.
Despite outshooting Lindsay 39-37, the Hawks couldn’t find the equalizer. Zucker finished with 34 saves.
PICTON PIRATES
Pirates Celebrate Bonter’s Return with Home-Ice Victory
Thursday, November 5 – Picton 4, Trent Hills 2
The Picton Pirates gave their home fans plenty to cheer about Thursday night, skating to a 4-2 victory over the Trent Hills Thunder at the Prince Edward Community Centre.
Jonathan Bonter made a memorable return to Picton, contributing a goal and an assist in the win.
Ben Smith and Ty Mulder also enjoyed two-point nights, each recording a goal and an assist, while Joey Coates supplied the Pirates’ remaining goal.
Kirk Stevenson chipped in with two assists as Picton’s offence came through when it mattered.
Between the pipes, Cohen Bedore delivered one of his strongest performances of the season, turning aside 35 shots to secure the victory.
Bedore’s performance comes as another welcome boost for the Pirates after he was recently named to the PJHL Top Prospects Game.
Kempers Scores Twice in Pirates’ Loss to Jets
Sunday, November 8 – Picton 2, Amherstview 4
The Pirates couldn’t carry their Thursday momentum into Sunday, dropping a 4-2 decision to the Amherstview Jets.
Veteran captain Gerrit Kempers accounted for both Picton goals, providing the offence needed to keep the Pirates within reach.
Kempers tied the game late in the opening period before striking again on the power play in the second to even the score.
However, Amherstview eventually found its way through the Picton defence and pulled away to secure the two-goal victory.
Joey Coates recorded two assists, while Ty Mulder and Blake Brown each added one.
Bedore was once again busy in the Picton crease, making 31 saves despite the loss.
