G-Hawks claim Dudley-Hewitt, soar to the RBC cup By Erin Stewart Kirkland Lake – The Trenton Golden Hawks have claimed the Dudley-Hewitt Cup for the first time in franchise history. Thanks to a 28-save shutout performance by goaltender Daniel Urbani and a hat trick scored by Lucas Brown, the G-Hawks beat the Soo Thunderbirds, the 2015 Dudley champs, 4-0 in the championship final on Sat. May 7, in Kirkland Lake. Not only did the G-Hawks win the championship game, they swept the entire four game championship series. “I feel ecstatic it’s amazing,” said G-Hawks coach Jerome Dupont. “We’ve worked really hard to get here and to accomplish what we did so it feels pretty special… I’m incredibly proud of the boys and everybody in the organization.” Kevin Lavoie muscled the puck away from the boards to assist Brown in the first goal of the game fifteen minutes into the first period, also assisted by Liam Morgan. The T-Birds outshot the G-Hawks in the second period 10-7 but could not get a puck past Urbani. Brown scored his second goal of the night on the power play seven
minutes into the third period, assisted by Morgan again and Adam Clements. The T-Birds pulled their goalie with two minutes left in the third, resulting in Brown’s third goal of the evening on the empty net, assisted by Brandon Marinelli. Trenton’s Quinn Lenihan scored the team’s fourth and final goal on the empty net at 18:41, assisted by Keaton Ratcliffe. The Soo’s goaltender Connor Ryckman saved 33 of the 35 shots the G-Hawks sent his way. The G-Hawks faced 16 minutes in penalty time with eight minors while the Soo finished with 34 penalty minutes on nine infractions. “This just takes the cake, this group of boys are unreal, we went to war all season and now we’re going to the RBC Cup,” said Brown. “It’s unbelievable, I can’t even describe it in words it’s unbelievable.” G-Hawks star goaltender Urbani said winning the Dudley-Hewitt Cup is a phenomenal feeling. “Just from day one, from the start of the season through to the playoffs and the Dudley-Hewitt I think we’ve been great,” he said. Urbani said his shutout performance in the championship final was a good comeback win for him.

“In the first couple of games I wasn’t my best so to come here, I got to show what I’m made of.” Belleville native Hunter Fargey said words couldn’t describe how the team felt in the moments following the big win. “I’m pretty excited, it’s my last
year as a junior obviously so it’s a good way to end the career,” said Fargey. Fargey was named top scorer of the 2016 Dudley-Hewitt Cup Central Canadian Jr. “A” Championship with five points and Urbani was named top goaltender. Brown
