A bright spot for the Grads was F Louie Marcellino (2g) who is off to a hot start for the defending champs.
Brockville 4 Carleton Place 2
On the second game of a back to back, the Canadians came out strong as they buried goals in the 1st and last minutes of the opening frame.

William Bouwer and Alex Payie with the goals for Carleton Place.
Smiths Falls 2 Kemptville 1

Heartbreak for the 73’s and goaltender Trenten Bennett (31 saves) who played a marvelous game in a losing effort.
