PALM COAST — In a showdown of the top two regular season teams, the Kings knocked off the Maple Leafs, 6-5, in the Flagler Roller Hockey League championship.

Ryan Gillespie led the Maple Leafs with three goals and an assist, but his team trailed 5-4 late in the third period. Anthony Cimirro scored a power play goal with a little more than five minutes to go in regulation, though, to send the game into overtime.

The Kings’ Jon Cassel scored the game-winning goal — his fifth goal of the game — nine minutes into the extra period, lifting his team to the league title.

Cassel has now won three straight league titles.
