The Oct. 31 edition of The Glengarry News includes coverage of last week's EOSSAA cross-country running meet. For complete results, please see this page on our website.

Here's the schedule for the Oct. 30 PRSSAA senior girls soccer playoffs, to be contested in Alexandria. Le Relais earned the right to host, placing first in the regular season. We have details in The Glengarry News.

With regular seating sold out, limited standing room tickets in the arena and in the hall at the glass (elevator accessible) will be available at the door for Saturday's special hockey game fundraiser in support of the Glengarry Memorial Hospital foundation. These tickets cost $45.

As of this posting, just 10 VIP tickets remain available. These include dinner and dessert before the game, and meet & greet with the Habs alumni after the game. Cost is $85. Dinner starts at 5 p.m.

Game time is set for 7 p.m.

As a little bonus, there will be a tykes mini-game between the first and second periods of the alumni game.

The hockey action features alumni of the Montreal Canadiens taking on a group of Alexandria Glens alumni. For roster details, see this earlier post.

In the CCHL2 tonight, the Alexandria Glens prevailed on home ice 5-2 over the Athens Aeros, while the Char-Lan Rebels lost 7-2 in Westport.

Both squads will be back in Action Saturday, when the Rebels will host Embrun at 8 p.m., and the Glens will be on the road in Carleton Place.

In support of the Glengarry Memorial Hospital Foundation, the Glengarry Sports Palace in Alexandria will host a hockey game on Saturday, Oct. 27 at 7 p.m., featuring alumni of the Montreal Canadiens versus an Alexandria Glens alumni team.

Regular-season action in the SDGAA high school varsity football league concluded today, when the Glengarry Gaels dispatched the CCVS Raiders, and the Holy Trinity Falcons prevailed over the Tagwi Warriors.

Final standings: St. Joseph's 5-0, Holy Trinity 4-1, la Citadelle 3-2, Glengarry 2-3, CCVS 1-4, Tagwi 0-5.

Playoff semifinals next week will feature the Panthers and Raiders on Thursday, with the Falcons and Patriotes playing on Friday.

Despite finishing in fourth place, the Gaels are barred from post-season play due to a league decision imposed because Glengarry's team is a combined effort of GDHS and VCI.

We will have all the details in The Glengarry News next week.

The Cornwall Prowlers senior 'A' hockey team got off to a bang-up start in their Oct. 20 home opener, taking a 4-0 lead on the Pontiac Comets. However, the visitors weren't about the roll over, battling back to hand Cornwall a 7-5 loss and even its record at 1-1.

Scoring for the Prowlers were Jonathan Labelle (2), Sebastien Thinel (2), and Dominic Leveille. County boys Pierre Luc Sabourin and Jesse Fontaine each picked up an assist.

Goaltender Josh Loney faced 56 shots, while Cornwall fired 57 at the Pontiac net.

Upcoming home games at Cornwall's multi-sport complex are set for Nov. 2 at 8:30 p.m. versus the Vaudreil Titans and Nov. 3 at 8 p.m. against Mont Laurier.

On Saturday, Oct. 27, alumni of the Montreal Canadiens will skate at the Glengarry Sports Palace in Alexandria against a team of Glens alumni. The action is set for a 7 p.m. start.

The event is a fundraiser for the Glengarry Memorial Hospital Foundation. Tickets are available by contacting the foundation or North Glengarry Recreation.

The Cornwall tyke 1 Wildcats earned a 48-6 victory over the Bell Warriors, on a chilly Sunday morning at Joe St Denis Field. As occasional snow flurries fell during the Oct. 21 gridiron grudge match, the Wildcats dominated on both sides of the ball.

Glengarrian Connor Hamelin had 9 rushes for 187 yards, scoring 4 touchdowns. On defence, he had 5 solo tackles and 7 assisted tackles. Elliot Keenan recorded 6 rushes for 40 yards, 3 solo tackles, and 7 assisted tackles, while Andrew Wiltshire had one tackle.

The other Cornwall scoring came from Caleb Denney (1 TD) and Bryce Camplin (3 two-point convert kicks).

Action photos from the game can be seen in our online gallery here.

With the win, the tyke 1 team advances to the NCAFA 'A' semifinal round, scheduled to play against Cornwall's other squad, tyke 2 (which won on the road last weekend in quarter-final action, 48-20 over Kanata), on Sunday, Oct. 28, starting at 10 a.m.

In other results last weekend, the mosquito Wildcats got past the Orleans Bengals 26-6. As a result, Cornwall moves on to play the Nepean Eagles on the road, Saturday, Oct. 27.

The peewee Wildcats were the lone squad to lose last weekend, dropping a 32-27 contest to Kanata. Cornwall's peewees will move into the 'B' playoff round, hosting the West Carleton Wolverines at noon, on Sunday.
