The Cornwall Colts fell behind in their CCHL semi-final series with a 6-3 road loss to the Carleton Place Canadians Saturday night. The Carleton Place win put them up three games to two in the series with a chance to close out the Colts this past Monday night at the Ed Lumley Arena. (Check The Journal at www.editionap.ca for post-game story). It is the second consecutive road game that the Colts took an early lead against the Canadians only to see their game fall apart in the final period. The Colts looked ready to replicate their 3-2 rebound victory at the Ed Lumley after an 8-3 thrashing fromCarleton Place just one night earlier. Carleton Place scored first mid- way through the first period, but the Colts quickly replied with two goals by Brandon Howes at the 11:43 mark and 15:53 mark to give the Colts the lead. ChristianWeidauer tied the game 2-2 with a power play marker just 48 seconds into the second, but the Colts regained the lead less than a minute later on a goal by Michael Pontarelli on a set up by Pietro Antonelli for a 3-2 lead. But Carleton Place scored four unanswered goals in the third from Lucas Gonu, Alex Globke, Kevin Dufour and Evan Peterson on an empty net, for a convincing 6-3 victory. It was another busy night for Colts’ goal- tender Jordan Piccolino, who was a standout in the Colts’ Thursday night win. Piccolino faced 45 shots Saturday night, compared to a paltry 17 directed at Canadians’ netminder Brendan O’Neill by the Colts. The Cornwall Colts ensured a Game 6 with “With this gift we wished to help sustain our family’s, our friends’, our co-workers’ and our community’s health and welfare for years to come.” Connie Vardy, executive Director of Corn- wall Hospital Foundation said the Bloom- field family “epitomizes the true spirit of philanthropy. It gives me great pleasure to be able to announce this gift after so many years. Mr. and Mrs. Bloomfield were defi- nitely champions of the campaign. Thank you to the Bloomfield family for their com- mitment towards the entire region.” Jeanette Despatie, CEO of Cornwall Com- munity Hospital, also expressed her grati- tude for the “generous donation. The Rose and David Bloomfield Diagnostic Centre was an important part of the Redevelop- ment Project. The diagnostic centre is now second to none. Our hospital is something to be proud of.” Rose Bloomfield said she and David “feel CCH REVEALS: From Page 2

a 3-2 win over the Carleton Place Canadians to knot up their CCHL semi-final series at two games apiece. Marly Quince opened the scoring 12:44 into the game on a set up from Pietro An- tonelli and Stephen Johnson in a period dur- ing which the Colts dominated the physical play and were winning most of the puck battles. But Kevin Dufour tied the game for the Canadians with just 36 seconds left in the first. The Colts regained their lead on a dramatic penalty shot by league scoring title winner privileged to have been able to make this gift.

Michael Pontarelli 3:22 into the second and Stephen Johnson sent the crowd to its feet just two minutes later on a set up from Jake Bannister and Mitch Zion to increase the Colts’ lead to 3-1. But Carleton Place climbed to within one goal of the Colts on a point shot by Kelly Summers late in the second when a Colts defender coughed up the puck after falling at the end boards, one of a number of times throughout the game that players seemed to get caught up in ruts at the rink’s edges. The Colts managed to hold off the Cana- The rate is only good for one visit. A visitor who leaves and returns in the same day must pay for parking a second time. Upon arrival to the parking area, visitors will be required to push a button on the entry terminal that will dispense a ticket that must be brought into the hospital with them. They must be inserted in one of the pay stations inside the building to obtain a pass to exit the parking lot. The pay stations are located on the first floor of the Janet MacDonell Pavilion and in the waiting room in the emergency depart- ment. The parking passes can be redeemed at the machines with cash, credit, or debit cards. After paying the required amount at one of the pay stations, a button must be pushed to obtain a receipt to use when ex- iting the lot.

But their comfort zone quickly dissipated after Billy Ulrick picked up a slashing minor with just 1:35 left to play, leaving the Colts down two men with the Canadians’ penalty expired and their goalie pulled.
