Skyhawks continue to struggle against Eskimos

It's official. The Abitibi Eskimos have the North Bay Skyhawks number.

The North Bay Skyhawks dropped a 4-3 decision at the hands of the Eskimos - the Skyhawks fourth straight loss against the Iroquois Falls franchise this season.

Justin Roy, Trent Lizee, and Jordan Carroll scored for the Skyhawks. Carroll's third period goal gave the Skyhawks the lead 3-2 early in the third but the Eskimos bounced back with two power play goals - one by Cody Fox and the eventual game winner by David Proulx.

The Skyhawks last victory against the Eskies came way back in November.
