Kirk Gergely netted the overtime winner as Christ the King's Jaguars defeated the host Titans 5-4 at the Holy Trinity Classic tourney in Oakville. The Jags had defeated Hamilton's Bishop Tonnos 12-1, Corpus Christi 9-3 and Holy Trinity 7-1 in the preliminary round. Conner Brown (9G, 5A), Jason Dickinson (7G, 6A) and Pat Gough (7G, 4A) were CtK's leading scorers, with goalie Joseph Bonsignore picking up three wins. Meanwhile, the GDHS Rebels captured the tourney title of an event at the Wave Twin Rinks in Burlington as Liam Clare scored on a penalty shot in the third period of the final to defeat T.A. Blakelock 3-2. Posting a 4-0 record, Rebel Blake Duffy was named tourney MVP for scoring five times, while Marty Burwell and Jacob Hector also contributed big goals. Netminders Adam Nakila and Christian Pancevski were solid throughout. Cameron ends season Cousens turns pro It didn't take long for Georgetown's Deron Cousens to find a job upon finishing his studies at Michigan Tech University. The 24-year-old defenceman completed his four-year U.S. collegiate career with the Huskies last month and was then signed to a pro contract by the East Coast Hockey League's Florida Everblades, who are based near Fort Myers. Cousens finished his senior season at Michigan Tech tied for the lead in scoring with two goals and 19 assists in 38 games. The 6-foot-1, 190-pound business management major, who participated in the Washington Capitals' prospects camp a couple of years ago, was held pointless in the final six regular-season games for the Everblades and is listed as a reserve for the first round of ECHL playoffs this week against Kalamazoo.
