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.

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