Being down three regular defencemen proved to not be much of an issue for the Cobourg Cougars in a 5-2 victory over the Wellington Dukes on Friday night.
Missing Jonathan Kapageridis, Duncan Schneider and captain Jesse English, the Cougars rode a hot powerplay with three goals and a 24-save performance from goaltender Tommy O’Donnell to their 13th win of the season
Ben Vreugdenhil bookended the scoring, finishing another late comeback effort with the overtime winner as the Dukes wiped away a two-goal deficit two days after tying the game late and then beating the Stouffville Spirit by the same score at home.
Captain Cory Jewitt came through in the clutch again, assisting on a tying marker with 24 seconds left in regulation and stealing the puck away for a clean break and a game-winner in double overtime to stun the Stouffville Spirit 5-4.
The Wellington Dukes have long been a leader in helping advance players to the next level of hockey, and today the Dukes announced that GM Todd Diminie is stepping down from his position to join the OHL’s Brampton Steelheads scouting department.
The Dukes owner, Ken Clement released a statement through Dukes COO Tealah Clement congratulating Todd and thanking him for his service to the Dukes. “On behalf of my father Ken Clement and myself, we want to take this time to thank Todd Diminie for his incredible work as General Manager.
