Greetings!


IT'S PLAYOFF HOCKEY NIGHT IN COBOURG!!!    

The Cobourg Cougars place 4th overall in the East Division!   Congratulations Coaches and Players!  

 

Playoffs begin this Monday Night at 7pm at the Cobourg Memorial Arena! 

 

We will not know who we are playing until Sunday Night after the regular season games are completed. As I write this newsletter, there is a slight chance that there could be a tie-breaker required between the final two teams to choose our opponent ... NOTE; IF this were to happen, our playoff game would be rescheduled for Tuesday night.  This is only a slight chance but could happen so stay tuned to 107.9 the Breeze or Star 93.3 for updates.   

 

Game two will be played Thursday evening out of town and if you want to travel to cheer on your Cougars the team would be very appreciative to have their fans there to cheer them on! If necessary the 3rd game will be played Friday night at the Cobourg Memorial Arena! Come on Cougar Fans, help us achieve victory by attending our playoff games and cheering on your Cobourg Cougars!  Your attendance makes a huge difference.  The Cougars promise to make these games exciting with live music, lots of prizes and great playoff hockey! Let's get 715 fans out to the rink like last Monday night!

Cougars Kick off Playoffs Monday Night

Sports - Jeff Gard - Northumberland Today January 28  


COBOURG

While the opponent has yet to be determined for the Cobourg Cougars, the playoff dates of their first round Ontario Junior A Hockey League series have been.

Since the Cougars will not finish the regular season as one of the top three teams in the East Division, they must play a best-of-three series as one of the next best four teams within the South/East Conference.

Cobourg has assured itself home-ice advantage and will host Game 1 on Monday night at 7 p.m. at Memorial Arena. The second game will be played on the road Thursday with a third-and-deciding game, if necessary, back in Cobourg on Friday night, Feb. 18.

Energy was high as more than 700 fans came out to Cobourg's Memorial arena for the Cougar's last regular home game at the 'Furnace Street Ice Palace' - as it was once known. The arena, will however, play host to any and all home playoff games the Cougars will have. After the completion of this year's hockey season, the Cougars will move to the newly constructed Cobourg Community Centre for the 2011/2012 season.

To honour the great arena's long history, not only with the Cougars, but with the Town of Cobourg as well, the Cougars welcomed the 1973/1974 Cobourg Cougars' Ontario Hockey Association Junior C championship team back to the arena.

The team was on hand before the game to
