The 5th Annual Benson Colts charity hockey game in support of St. Vincent De Paul took place on Sunday, December 9, in Cornwall. Eighteen local celebrities suited up alongside Colts players in a fun game to raise money and collect food items for the charity.

This year $2,000 was raised, bringing the historical total to over $12,000 raised thanks to this fun event. The official score was 8-8.

The Benson Group once again the title sponsor for the event, with Shoeless Joe’s providing post-game munchies.

Last weekend in senior 'A' hockey action, the Cornwall Prowlers suffered a pair of defeats.

First, it was a 6-5 loss on home ice to the Maniwaki Forestiers, on Saturday. That was followed up by a Sunday thrashing in Mont-Laurier, where the Montagnards silenced the Prowlers 11-3.

Cornwall point-getters over the two-game stint were: Marc-André Labelle (2 goals, 2 assists), Benoit Harris (1G, 2A), Stevie Ray Adams (3A), Adam Wensink (2G), Maxime Desèves (1G, 1A), Ian Boots (1G, A1), Brian Landry (2A), Frédéric Lojen (1G), Jesse Fontaine (1A), Pierre-Luc Sabourin (1A), and Brandon Gilmour (1A).

Last Thursday night at the Cornwall Civic Complex, the Colts scored a 3-2 win over the visiting Hawkesbury Hawks. Konnor MacCormick notched the game-winner, on a power play, midway through the third period, assisted by Alex Gagnon and Philippe Gilmour. Scoring earlier for the home side were Gagnon and Tristan Poissant, with assists to Josh Barnes, Alex Stuckert, MacCormick, and Gilmour.

Hawkesbury tallies were netted by Xavier Léveillé and Bradley Shaw, with Luke Grainger, Patrick Johnston, and Mike Nantais earning the helpers.

Last Saturday at the Palace, the hometown Alexandria peewee 'C' Glens went 2-1 on the day, to win the 'B' title. We have the details in this week's edition of The Glengarry News. 

Here's a photo of the team, courtesy of the Alexandria Minor Hockey Association.

Thursday night in the CCHL2 saw the Alexandria Glens and Ottawa West Golden Knights combine for 162 minutes in penalties, as the Knights dealt the Glens a 6-1 loss.

The bulk of the sin bin time was collected at the 8:58 mark of the third period, when two players from each team were handed game misconduct penalties in addition to fighting majors and other infractions. In all, four players from the Glens were involved in the brouhaha and three from the Knights.

The penalties racked up by the Alexandria squad add to their already league-leading total.

The boys continue on the road tonight, scheduled to skate in Embrun, at 8 p.m.

Tomorrow, Dec. 1, the Glens will host a Berlin (Germany) junior hockey team. Game time at the Glengarry Sports Palace is set for 8 p.m.
