The Rockland Nationals are off to round two of the Central Canada Hockey League (CCHL) playoffs after completing a 4-0 sweep of the Cornwall Colts in the opening round of the postseason.\u00a0<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

While the\u00a0Nats were able to fend off their opening round opponents in four straight games, each contest, aside from game four, was decided by one goal, with game two needing overtime to declare a winner.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Nationals will hope to keep the momentum from their first round series win into round two, which begins this Friday night in Rockland.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

With a high scoring game three in the rearview mirror, the Nats traveled to Cornwall with a chance to close out the Colts with a sweep.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The home team led 2-1 to start the third period, but then it became the Gabriel Le Houillier show, as the Rockland forward scored the visiting team\u2019s next three goals, including the game winner, to lift the Nationals to a 4-0 series sweep of the Colts. He was named the game\u2019s first star.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

R\u00e9mi Gagn\u00e9\u202fscored Rockland\u2019s other goal, while the Nats outscored Cornwall 41-24.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
