Kierstyn Cross

Many of you have likely heard the wonderful voice of Kierstyn Cross who sings the National Anthem at the Cougars Games.  She has been singing the Anthem since she was 9 years old and this is her fourth year singing with the Cougars.  Kierstyn was born in Peterborough, Ontario, daughter of Lisa Gibbs and Andrew Cross and lives here in Northumberland County.   

Her love of music was revealed at an early age; she loved the stage and performed from age 5.  She has appeared in Pop, Disney and Broadway Music.  In January 2009 she had her first performance with a Country band and her love of Country Music.   

Kierstyn's future goals are to record her second CD and to expand on her music theory and instrumental learning,  her passion for singing and her enthusiasm to explore new venues will keep her going on her exciting musical journey.  The cougars are blessed to have her as part of our organization!  Thank you Kierstyn!

DATES TO REMEMBER

 

Here is how the playoffs will work this season:

 

The top three teams in the East and the top three teams in the South will get a 'Bye' while the next 'four highest teams in the East and South Combined will play a best 2 out of 3 to decide the final two spots for the 8 team playoffs. 

You will notice that

some teams with more points in the East will end up eliminated even though they have more points and wins than the top teams that received a 'Bye' in the South division.  Just to clarify, this is indeed how it unfortunately will work this year.


 

The Cougars are working hard to earn the third spot to get the Bye, however, should they not get third place, the 2 out of 3 series will be played between February 14th and 20th.  Announcements will be made to verify dates but it may be short notice so please keep the Cougars penciled in should we have to play the mini-series the week of February 14th because we need our fans support!

Cougars, Rebound team up for literacy

Sports - Jeff Gard - Northumberland Today January 28
 


COBOURG -- In addition the success the Cobourg Cougars have achieved on the ice during the hockey season, the junior A club -- two players in particular -- teamed up with Rebound Child & Youth Services Northumberland for a winning partnership away from the rink as well.

Cougars defencemen Kevin Van Dyk and Jared Martin and seven youth from Rebound joined together back in the fall for a new book club, 'Reading on the way to the Rink.'

"For us it's been great to have young men coming in who are very active in their community and for them to be able to act as mentors and role models to the kids,"

COBOURG -- Penalties almost cost the Cobourg Cougars a victory, but in the end they managed to squeak out a win over the Whitby Fury.

On Jan. 17 at Cobourg's Memorial Arena, the Cougars penalty killers struggled and it nearly cost them the game. Cobourg only managed to kill off one powerplay in five opportunities, giving Whitby four powerplay goals.

With their 6-5 win over the Fury, the Cougars managed to stay in third place in the East Division in the Ontario Junior Hockey League standings.

Cougars' forward Derek Foote got the scoring started four minutes into the first period when he converted a pass from Dylon McMahon. But two minutes later, when Cougars' defenseman Jake Flegel was
