Two wins on the road and one loss at home was how the Rockland Nationals’ latest three games in the Central Canada Hockey League finished. The Nats cut down the Lumber Kings 5-2 in Pembroke November 20. Pembroke got the first goal in the first minute of the game from Jacob Shankar, with assists by Fletcher Anderson and Liam Enright. Rockland took over the scoring with assistant captain Jack Sullivan answering Pembroke’s first-period goal about thirty seconds after it went in the net. Helping out Sullivan were his fellow assistant captain Cole Craft and Cameron Last. Second-period scoring for Rockland was courtesy of Andrew Aboumossa, assisted by Joe Jordan and Justin Dauphinais, and Nats captain Matthew Vermaeten, assisted by Cameron Pound and Gunnar Smith. The Lumber Kings got in one last point with a shot by Anthony Urbisci, in the first three minutes of third period. Assisting were Olivier Charest and Joshua Maine. Finishing up the Rockland score were Vermaeten, assisted by Dean Taylor, and Last, with help from Sullivan and Smith. Last Friday in Kemptville, the Nats beat the 73s 5-2 with Rockland ruling first period through a pair of goals by Simon Labelle and one from Cole Craft. Assisting Labelle
