Sawyer Thompson Hits The Links At Summerheights.

Club Champions at Summerheights

On September 5th, 2021, Irma Leduc and Marcel Marion respectively won the 2021 Summerheights Golf Links championship.

Irma’s involvement with golf has been very intense for the past 21 years and she plays a major role at Summerheights in making it easy and fun for newcomers.

Marcel Marion started to play golf 29 years ago, although he says he didn’t play every year. As a young man, Marcel liked playing fastball and when he could no longer play, he turned to golf, which became his new passion.

Local Hockey Star Pete Piquette

Ellery Maloney, recently spoke with Sports Energy News to remember his friend Pete Piquette. Piquette was a local hockey goaltender in the 1940’s and 50’s who saw great success in his hockey career, landing him a spot in the Cornwall Sports Hall of Fame. Maloney says he’s known Pete and his wife Betty for most of his life.

“We both played hockey, we were both goaltenders on separate teams. We’ve been such close friends since our early teens,” says Maloney. “We were in each other’s wedding parties as well.”

Pete Piquette was an exceptional good goaltender and he started his junior hockey with the Cornwall Community Sports Club. Piquette was soon called to play with the Oshawa Generals Jr. A team in the OHA, (Currently OHL). Maloney recalls one of the highlights of Piquette’s time with the Generals was his encounter with George Armstrong, an All-Star player with the Toronto Maple Leafs.
