Dawson McKay scored two power play goals. It’s the fourth time in the past five years that the Gremlins have claimed the MacInnes title.
Calumet downed Howell 7-3 in the consolation match. Quick goals by Dean Loukus, Rylan Anderson and Scott Loukus gave the Copper Kings an early lead, but the Highlanders scored twice to tighten the game.

McKay was named the tournament’s Most Valuable Player. Stier was named as the goalie on the all-tournament team. He was joined by Houghton defensemen Kevin Bostwick and Justin Norkol; and forwards Colton Salani and Petr Anderson from Hancock, and Brent Loukas from Calumet.
