SUPPORT COUGARS TONIGHT

 

Dear Cobourg Cougars fans:

Friday, Feb. 18 at 8:30 p.m.: Cobourg Cougars vs. St. Michael's Buzzers -- final game in the best two out of three series. Each team has one game each.

Cobourg Cougars fans, let's fill our arena and support our Cobourg Cougars.

I challenge the four high schools-- St. Mary's, CDCI East and West, and Port Hope High School -- to come out and lead the cheering. Go Cougars, Go!

I challenge all fans, and maybe some doubters, to come out and cheer your Cobourg Jr. A Cougars, and bring your children.

 

Cougars, this is your barn. Go for the gusto!

'Mr. Cougar' Rod Baker, past-president

Cobourg

St. Mikes Logo  

The Cougars wish to take this time to recognize the St. Michael's Buzzers.  It was a hard fought battle by both teams providing first class hockey for the fans.  I would like to share this letter from Mike McCarron Governor of the St. Michael's Buzzers. 

 

Dear Cobourg Cougars Hockey Club,

 

On behalf of the St. Michael's Buzzers, I want to congratulate you on your series clinching victory last night in overtime.

 

 

In all of my years of being involved in hockey, I am not sure if I have ever witnessed a more exciting, engaging hockey game than last night's.

 

As much as I am disappointed with the loss, I am proud of our team and the battle they showed.

 

While losing is never easy, however, it's not nearly as bad when you lose to such a classy first rate organization as the Cobourg Cougars.

 

I can't tell you how proud I am of your entire organization and I truly believe that you are arguably one of the best run franchises in the league. You are now the model both on and off the ice that every team should strive to emulate.

 

Good luck in your next series against Kingston.

 

Take care and all the best,

 

Mike McCarron

Governor

The Win 

JEFF GARD Northumberland Today - Dylon McMahon celebrates after completing his hat trick with the overtime goal for the Cobourg Cougars in a 5-4 win over the St. Michael's Buzzers in the deciding game of their Ontario Junior A Hockey League series on Friday night at the Cobourg Memorial Arena.

 

COBOURG - There was no denying Dylon McMahon the series-clinching goal on Friday night against the St. Michael's Buzzers.

Eventually.  

Twice in regulation time McMahon put the Cougars in a position to emerge victorious before he ultimately netted the winning tally at the 7:20 mark of overtime in the deciding game of their Ontario Junior A Hockey League best-of-three qualification round series.

Close to 440 spectators were on hand to watch Cobourg win a series for the first time in several years.

McMahon said the hat trick was his first-ever three-goal game at the junior A hockey level.

"Not a better feeling than to get a hat trick and the OT winner," he remarked after the game.

In all the commotion following the final goal that resulted from a scramble in front of the St. Michael's net, McMahon's teammate James Diminie was credited with the marker. Diminie also confirmed after the game with Northumberland Today, however, that he didn't score the goal and that was fine with him. "As long as someone scored, I didn't ...
