Colts get leg up on Canadians in series opener
minute later on their one-man advantage to cap their comeback. The Colts, however, had to fight to ensure they could hold off the Canadians to get a shot in overtime after Mitch Zion was pe- nalized for cross-checking with just 1:14 left in the game. Quince led the Colts in scoring with two goals. Belizario, Pontarelli, Quince and Zion all had two-point nights. Globke led the Ca- nadians with one goal and two assists for three points. The penalty box was Carleton Place’s big- gest enemy of the evening. The Canadians were handed 30 minutes of penalties on 11 infractions. The Colts were handed six in- fractions for a total of 20 minutes of penalty time. Jordan Piccolino was a standout again be- tween the pipes for the Colts, stopping 41 of 45 shots, including some key saves late in the game. The Colts returned home Monday night for Game 2 of the series at the Ed Lumley Arena. Check out The Journal at www.edi- tionap.ca for post-game story.

A puck-clearing gaffe by Carleton Place goaltender Brendan O’Neill in overtime gave the Cornwall Colts the opening they needed to take the first game of their CCHL semi-final series versus the Canadi- ans Friday night. Marly Quince netted the OT game winner on a set up from Carl Belizario and Stephen Johnson – who led the Colts with a four- point night -- just 16 seconds after O’Neill’s clearing attempt soared over the glass, earning him critical two-minute delay of game penalty. The goal capped yet another major come- back by the Colts, who scored two power- play goals within 1:10 to tie the Canadians, who had stretched their lead to 4-2 on a goal by Alex Globke 7:33 into the final frame. The Colts got on the scoreboard just 1:41 into the game with an unassisted goal by

Johnson. They increased their lead to 2-0 with 4:45 left in the first with a power-play goal from Quince on a set up by Pietro An- tonelli and Michael Pontarelli. But Evan Peterson got Carleton Place within one goal with a power play marker set up by Globke and Christian Weidauer with 2:31 left in the first frame and Kevin Dufour tied the game at 2-2 just 10 sec- onds later on a set up by Globke and Jide Idowu.
The game remain tied for most of the sec- ond period until Tyson Stewart and Devin Campbell found Luke Martin to give Car- leton Place the lead with a little more than five minutes to play in the second frame. Globke increased Carleton Place’s lead to 4-2 with his third point of the night, which was frittered away by a 5-3 advantage handed the Colts late in the game. The Colts scored 15 seconds into the two-man advan- tage and then scored a little more than a

The Cornwall River Kings opened their first ever LNAH playoff series with con- vincing back-to-back wins at home over St-Georges. The Kings dumped the Cool FM 5-2 this afternoon and have a 2-0 lead in the best-of-five series. The visitors struck early just 1:10 into the first on a nice deflection in front from Dany Roussin to take the 1-0 lead. It was all River Kings after that scoring four unanswered goals. Eric Meloche got the home team on the board with a power play marker. Pierre- Luc Faubert scored just over five minutes later to make it a two goal lead. Two more goals from Francis Lessard and Jonathan Jasper came 18 seconds apart to make it 4-1. St-Georges start the second period
with a new goalie sending Michel Robin- son in replacing Jeremy Duschesne. For the second game in a row Francis Lessard and Dave Starensky drop the gloves this time with plenty of punches thrown by both sides. Nicolas Corbeil thought he had a goal with just under four minutes to go but the officials called it back saying he hit it with a high stick. The Cool FM make things interesting at the 9:31 mark of the third when Alexan- dre Gagne scores to narrow the gap to two goals. The goal did not seem to rattle the Kings who looked solid in their own end. The Cool FM pulled their goalie with 1:36 to go and were unable to get any good chanc- es. Loic Lacasse was solid with 28 saves.
