With Nicolas Rousseau sidelined by injury, the Alexandria Glens CCHL2 hockey team is expected to go with Brennan Nadeau between the pipes in back-to-back games this weekend, at the Glengarry Sports Palace. Tonight, Oct. 20, the Ottawa Canadians will provide the opposition, while on Saturday evening it will be the Westport Rideaus. 

Tonight's match drops the puck on a five-game homestand. All are 8 pm starts.

Today, at Cornwall's Holy Trinity CSS, the Glengarry DHS Gaels claimed the high school cross-country running SD&G championship. The Gaels also won the overall boys title, as well as division crowns in junior girls, junior boys, and senior boys.

The host Falcons placed second overall. They also took the girls championship and division titles in midget girls and senior girls.

The Glengarry News was there covering the event and taking photographs of the action. We will have a story in the newspaper next week.

A number of new photo galleries have been posted to our website here. Should you be interested in ordering any high-resolution images or prints, please contact us for details.

The Cornwall Colts have added forward depth in a trade that brought Tommy Tanner from the Calgary Canucks of the AJHL, in return for a player development fee.

The 19-year-old Montreal-born forward spent the past three seasons playing for Kent School in the USHS, where he collected 40 points in 66 games before joining the Canucks to begin the 2017-18 season.

"He’s my kind of player," says Colts coach Ian MacInnis, of the 6 ft., 175 lb. forward. "He brings a two-way, gritty style every shift."

Last week, Le Relais hosted some PRSSAA league junior soccer action. We have the details in the Oct. 18 edition of The Glengarry News.

Today, our sports editor took in the action at a high school senior girls basketball game, as Holy Trinity hosted Tagwi. A video clip (which was recorded live at the game) can be viewed here.

We will have an online gallery of photos available in the coming days, along with coverage of the match and the league in the next edition of The Glengarry News.

Updating a story we have in this Oct. 11 issue of The Glengarry News and an earlier post on our website, the CCHL Hawkesbury Hawks will indeed be playing a few more "home" games in Alexandria, at the Glengarry Sports Palace.

A media release from the team indicated all remaining home games for 2017 would be played in Vankleek Hill, with one in Rockland. However, the schedule was altered to accommodate the Hawks a few more times in Alexandria.

To date, the Hawks are 2-0 at the Palace, including a win last Friday night. 

The latest schedule update has Hawks games in Alexandria slated for Nov. 17, Nov 26, and Dec. 15.

Next "home" action for the team is booked for Oct. 13 at 1:30 pm, in Vankleek Hill, versus Pembroke.

The Hawks are hoping to return to their home nest, the Robert Hartley Sports Complex, in January, if repairs are completed.

Green Valley's Remi Elie is back in the NHL.

After a late cut from the Dallas Stars training camp, Elie was loaned to the AHL Texas Stars, for whom he played the bulk of the last two seasons. In 129 games (including two this season) with the AHL club, Elie has 46 points.

Late last season, he was called up to Dallas, playing in 18 games and scoring 1 goal to go along with 6 assists.

The NHL club today announced his recall to Dallas, which is winless in two games this season.

Elie, a 6 ft. 1 lb., 215 lb. left winger was originally selected by Dallas in the second round (40th overall) of the 2013 NHL draft. His junior hockey career began in the CCHL with the Hawkesbury Hawks, before he went on to play for several OHL clubs.

Cross-country runners from Tagwi, Holy Trinity, and Glengarry were among athletes competing last week at the Oct. 6 North Dundas Invitational. Here are the results. IB = intermediate boys, IG = intermediate girls, JB = junior boys, JG = junior girls, SB = senior boys, SG = senior girls.
