Centre MacKenzie Entwistle was taken in the second round by the newly estab- lished Hamilton Bulldogs (formerly the Bel- leville Bulls) 40th overall. The 6-foot-2, 160-pound centre played for the OHL Cup and GTHL-champion To- ronto Marlboros' minor midgets this past season. He'll join Marlies' teammate Mat- thew Strome with the Bulldogs, who took the big winger with their first-round pick. Six-foot-5, 201-pound centre Nick Dea- kin-Poot went to the Guelph Storm in the third round, 54th overall, having graduated from the Halton Hurricanes' AAA minor midgets. The Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds drafted local resident Alex Daigle in the 15th and fi- nal round, 292nd overall. Daigle is a 5-foot- 11, 166-pound centre from the Toronto Ti- tans' AAA minor midgets. On Tuesday, Entwistle and Deakin-Poot were among the 161 players named to the rosters for the OHL under-16 Gold Cup, to be held in Kitchener May 7-10. STORM STUMPED: The junior hockey career of Georgetown's Jason Dickinson came to an end after the Guelph Storm lost 3-2 to the visiting Sault Ste. Marie Grey- hounds Tuesday evening to complete a second-round sweep of the OHL Western Conference semifinal. The 19-year-old Storm captain played four seasons in Guelph and can boast an OHL championship after last year's run to the Memorial Cup in London. "I got to play under some great coaches and learn a hell of a lot from them," said Dickinson, the Dallas Stars' first-round draft pick in 2013, 29th overall. "I made a lot of good relationships here with my billets and other people in the com- munity. It's going to be nice to be able to hold onto that," he told the Guelph Mercury. The only local resident remaining in the OHL playoffs is Matthew Kreis, whose Bar- rie Colts trail the North Bay Battalion 2-1 in their best-of-7 Eastern Conference semifi- nal series. Soon-to-graduate Tanner Gaskill-Cadwallader of Christ the King Secondary School has signed on with the Western Mustangs and appears ready to make the switch from quarterback as a high schooler to a receiver at the Canadian university level. He was welcomed in the above picture by Western head coach Greg Marshall.

Pictured at right, Georgetown's MacKenzie Entwistle was welcomed to the Hamilton Bulldogs at a press conference Saturday by the OHL team's coach & GM George Burnett (left) and team owner Michael Andlauer. Submitted photos Accustomed to throwing the football during his high school days at Christ the King, Tan- ner Gaskill-Cadwallader will probably be on the receiving end of passes when he suits up for the Western University Mustangs this fall. The 5-foot-11, 190-pound fleet-footed quarterback at CtK is listed as being a "slot- back/athlete" amongst the 29 players signed by the Mustangs in their 2015 recruiting class. Gaskill-Cadwallader also starred for the North Halton Crimson Tide club team last summer and earned selection to the GTA Current Star team. He'll study social justice at Western. As well, the Mustangs recruited a couple of Gaskill-Cadwallader's teammates at CtK, twins Lucas and Zach Maclellan, who were also named as GTA Current Stars. Both check in at about 6-foot-5, 270 pounds and are expected to play on the Mustangs' defensive line.
