CHAMPIONSHIP CONVOY!!!!




This weekend was our much anticipated tournament in Monkton, Ontario.  It was a nice drive on Friday evening as we travelled to take on the Goderich Sailors.  The Charismatic Cougars Blue squad came out flying and played the best positional hockey they have played all year.  Along with all of their hustle and determination, they were able to skate away with a 5-0 victory.

 

On the scoresheet, we had Spencer, while parking himself in front of that net, picking up 2 goals, Gavin with 2 and Jack with one.  Assists, and there are lots of them due to our terrific passing, go to Jack,  Grant, Cameron, Brady, and Ethan with 2. And of course we had a shutout by our awesome goalie Matty Kaprowski.

 

Our Cougar of the Game goes to ERISS DOXTATOR who was playing his position to perfection, working hard, staying onside, but just couldn’t by a goal. CONGRATS ERISS!!!

 

Game 2 was against the Magnificent Mitchell Meteors and boy, did we come out flying.  Our Cougars were pouncing on the puck and back checking like crazy.  It was like our perfect game, even in the net where Matty once again turned away all the oppositions shots.

 

On the score sheet, we had Katie Lunnie with a beautiful assist, and Cameron Wanlin with an assist, Connor Noad with an assist, Carson VanderWeg with an assist, Jack Harding with 3 goals, Ethan Bond with 4 goals and an assist, Spencer Whitney with a goal, and  Gavin McGahey with a goal. And between the pipes, Matty got his second straight shutout.

 

Game #3 barely happened because of the terrifying blizzard outside, but a caravan of us made it to Monkton in what proved to be less than ideal conditions.  With 7 skaters, a goalie and a borrowed set of jerseys from the kind Mitchell squad however, we were able to put another great game together and beat the Milverton Drives 10-0. The scoresheet was a bit messy, but we have: CONNOR NOAD with his first goal of the season, and he actually got 2 and added an assist, Grant Walden with a pair of goals, Gavin with one and 2 assists, Ethan with 1 goal and 2 assists, Spencer Whitney with 2 goals, Jack with 2 and 3 assists, and Carson with 2 assists.  And yes, Matty got his 3rd straight shutout.  WOW!!! It was a great effort and it earned us a trip to the final against the Mighty Mitchell Meteors again.

 

After a great lunch at Crabby Joes in Listowel, we got ready for the final, with our shirts and 2 more players.  Now we were ready to go to bring home the silverware.  And that we did.  The Meteors were smoking this time and were all over us early, but our awesome goalie Matty Kaprowski held us in it until we got our legs going, and that we did.  Our Cougars made us proud as you could tell they had to dig deep to bring this one home after a long morning.  After the dust settled, the courageous Cougars Blue Squad came home with the Championship after scoring a 6-1 victory.  Very proud of all the Cougars as they worked very well together and played the best hockey I have seen all year.  Congrats Cougars.

 

On the scoresheet, we have Jack with a goal and an assist, Gavin with 3 goals and 2 assists, Brady Dawson with his first goal ever and an assist, Ethan with a goal, Spencer with 2 assists.
