Cougars earn point in OT

Sports

By JEFF GARD Northumberland Today.com



COBOURG -Jake Taylor scored the only goal of a shootout Monday night as the Peterborough Stars pulled out a 5-4 victory over the Cobourg Cougars, which had their four-game winning streak snapped.

Cobourg twice trailed by three goals, 3-0 and 4-1, before eventually rallying to send the Ontario Junior A Hockey League game into overtime. The Stars gained the two points, but only an extra point more than the Cougars as they earned one for the OT defeat."It showed a lot of character with us coming back. I can't say enough about the boys, especially Chewy (goalie Mathieu Cadieux) for holding us in, in net," said Cobourg defenceman Kevin Van Dyk, who scored three powerplay goals; twice with his club trailing by three in second period and then the game-tying marker midway through the third.

"You've got to look at the positives sometimes," Van Dyk said. "It's very important to get two points, but when you're down three goals, we'll take the one point."

Blake Sexton, Brett Gilmour, Justin Danforth and Derek Foote were all stopped by Peterborough netminder Zac Fryia in the shootout. Cadieux, meanwhile, turned aside attempts by the first three Stars shooters -Corey O'Brien, Steve Evans and Troy Barss -before Taylor scored on him.

Asked, half-jokingly, if he should have been selected for the shootout, Van Dyk replied (with a grin) "I didn't really expect to go out there.

"We've got a lot of guys that can put the puck in the net, so I'll let them do that part," added Van Dyk, who had registered five assists

Cobourg Cougars running hot

By Jason Chamberlain - Northumberland Newsl

COBOURG -- The Cobourg Cougars are on a tear.

After losing the first two games of the season, the Junior A club cruised to four straight wins, a streak during which they outscored their opponents 25-6. The hot streak cooled a bit at the Cobourg Memorial Arena on Monday, Sept. 27 when they lost 5-4 in a shootout to the Peterborough Stars, but they still earned a point in the standings.

On Monday, the Cougars battled back from a deficit of 4-1 to force overtime thanks to a hat trick from Kevin Van Dyk and another goal from Chris Albertini. Nothing was solved in overtime, and in the shootout four Cougars were stymied by the Peterborough goaltender while the fourth Star shooter finally beat Cobourg goalie Mathieu Cadieux to win the game.

Despite the loss, the team is still looking strong in the eyes of head coach Wayne Marchment.

"We're playing better team defense and we've got a top of the line goalie," he said in reference of Cadieux.

After seven games, the Cougars are 4-2-1 for 9 points and are tied with the Trenton Golden Hawks for second place in the East Division.

"The season just started, so we're not worried too much about (standings). We just want to keep getting points," said Marchment. "This East Division, there are a lot of good teams."

The Cougars can improve on their strong start on Sunday, Oct. 3 in Toronto against the Junior Canadiens. They will return to the Memorial Arena on Monday, Oct. 4 to host the Pickering Panthers. The puck drops at 7 p.m.
