Hawks deny Colts chance to grab first in Robinson
ted at 73 points each, but the Canadians sit in first on the basis of their 35 wins versus the Colts’ 32. The Cornwall Colts were just one point away from taking over first place in the CCHL’s Robinson Division after defeating Carleton Place for the second time in less than four days last Monday. The Colts were tied with the Canadians at 73 points, but remained in second place on the basis of wins. Carleton Place had 35 wins while the Colts had 32. The Colts were led with another three- goal night from Michael Pontarelli. Ste- phen Johnson also scored with the Colts on a quick wrister from just over the blue- line which eluded Canadians’ netminder Brendan O’Neill. Pietro Antonelli scored an empty-netter with one second left to seal the victory. The three goals kept Pontarelli atop of the overall league scoring standings, four- points ahead of Ben Blasko of the Brockville Braves, who has been lighting it up lately. As of Monday, he sat just two points ahead of Blasko with 94 points.

The Cornwall Colts needed just one point Thursday night to take hold of first place in the CCHL’s Robinson Division, but couldn’t solve the pesky Hawkesbury Hawks. The Hawks played a perfect game, thwart- ing the Colts at every turn, to snatch a hard- fought 1-0 victory over the Colts at the Ed Lumley Arena. The Colts rang a one-timer off the cross- bar during a power play late in the second period, but that was about as close as they got to solving an unflappable Carmine Guerriero between the pipes for the Hawks. There was drama late in the game when Colts’ netminder Jordan Piccolino made a sprawling poke check type save on a Hawks player charging hard for a puck that had gotten behind the Colts’ defence caught pressing for the equalizer in Hawkesbury’s zone. There was even more drama late in the game, when Piccolino pulled for the extra attacker, Colts’ skaters were forced to make a couple of key saves with Hawkesbury players swarming the zone. The Colts were able to regain possession of the puck but couldn’t get a clean shot to the Hawks’ net before the buzzer sounded. The Colts had a golden opportunity to tie the game when they were handed a short two-man advantage early in what was a scrappy second period after Francis Land- New resident Christian Saint-Pierre was introduced to acupuncture several years ago while suffering from severe mi- graines. He was treated six times and has been migraine free ever since. His wife, Julie Levesque, had severe aller- gies to 15 different foods and was seeing an allergist with no real success. She turned to acupuncture and after 12 treatments her al- lergies almost disappeared.

ers was flagged for high sticking less than a minute after Ross Kovacs was sent to the box for cross-checking. The Colts also lost two key players for 10 minutes during the game. Michael Pon- tarelli was handed a misconduct midway through the second after some words while in the crease with Guerriero. Billy Ulrick was sent to the box for 10 minutes for harass- ment of an official early in the third. Francis Landers, with help from Zach Carr
and former Colt Roman Ammirato, gave the Hawks the lead just 21 seconds into the sec- ond period. Then the game’s first star, Guer- riero took care of the rest, turning away the remaining of 38 Colts shots. It was a rare recent loss for Piccolino, who was up to the task when called upon, turn- ing away 16 of 17 shots from the Hawks. The Colts needed one point to inch past the division leading Carleton Place Canadi- ans. The Colts and the Canadians are knot-
