By JEFF GARD NORTHUMBERLAND TODAY

COBOURG -- Stefan Thompson wants to assist in the success of the Cobourg Cougars in any way he can.

Thompson scored twice and assisted on another goal in a 7-1 rout over the Pickering Panthers on Monday night at the Cobourg Memorial Arena. The Cougars, after dropping the first two games of the Ontario Junior A Hockey League season, have since won six of their last seven.


They have earned points in seven straight contests, though, as the only loss during that stretch was in a shootout to the Peterborough Stars a week earlier.

This time last year the Cougars were on a much different streak, ultimately losing 11 straight games.

"It was very difficult, sad times for the guys," said Thompson, who's in his second season for the Cougars. "For the boys that were here last year, it's a big difference. We were just talking about that today actually."

While the losing streak occurred early in the season, it still essentially buried the playoff hopes for the Cougars. As the defeats piled up, the harder it was to play, especially at home and the players felt like "we were not only letting ourselves down, but letting the town down," Thompson said. "It just brought moral down. You come in the room, every-one's got their head down, there's no music, coach doesn't talk to you."

That's nothing that a 6-2-1 record (currently good enough for a share of first place) can't change.

Cobourg Cougars keep scoring


Two wins, 11 goals

Oct 06, 2010 

Jason Chamberlain - Northumberland News

COBOURG -- There's no big secret to the success of the Cobourg Cougars.

They keep scoring goals, so they keep winning.

The Cougars have won six of their first nine games in the Ontario Junior Hockey League this season, and during that stretch they have scored an impressive 45 goals. That's the most by any team in the East Division and it puts them in the upper echelon of the league as well.

They scored eleven more goals last weekend while putting up two more wins. On Sunday, Oct. 3 they were in Toronto, where they edged the Junior Canadiens by a score of 4-1. Blake Sexton and Evan Jasper both scored twice for Cobourg. In his first game with the team, new backup goaltender Kristoff Lyons delivered a strong effort, turning aside 25 shots for the win.
