Wellington jumped out to a 5-0 lead through two periods before settling on a 6-2 victory over the Cougars in Cobourg.

The Dukes also got goals from Emmit Pierce, Will Mitchell, Ethan Quick and Payton Schaly. Matt Dunsmoore went the distance in goal turning aside 28 shots.
The Dukes open the OJHL season at home Friday night when they host the Mississauga Chargers at 7:30 at Lehigh Arena.
