Colts trample Canadians

Canadian Gazette

December 4, 2009

The Canadians were trampled by the Cornwall Colts Thursday night in an 8-0 loss.

Playing in front of a hometown crowd of nearly 1,000 fans, the Colts would score three times in the first period.

They would get two more in the second before Canadians goaltender Scott Shackell took a penalty for throwing his stick. That resulted in a penalty shot which earned the Colts one more goal.

Cornwall would get a shorthanded goal in the final minute of the period to add insult to injury.

Another shorthanded goal by the Colts would come in the third period for the 8-0 win.

While the scoreboard was clearly lopsided, the same couldn’t be said for the shot clock.

The Canadians got off a respectable 31 shots compared to the Colts’ 34. Carleton Place would in fact outshoot Cornwall 15-4 in the final period.

The Canadians’ next game is Sunday in Nepean at 2:30 p.m.
