Kemptville - The only thing better than the stretch drive in hockey is a head-to-head match up against two teams battling for the last play-off spot.

And YOU can have a cozy front row seat to the action when the Carleton Place Canadians visit the North Grenville Municipal Centre on Friday, January 15. warm up is at 7 pm and the puck drops at 7:30 pm.

Carleton Place leads the season match-up 2-1 but the 73's hold a six point lead for the last play-off spot and have two games at hand. The Canadians are mired in a slump at the wrong time of year and the 73's have won six of their last seven games.

Come on out and cheer on your 73's during this stretch drive.
