Cougars Novice A - Champions at Harold Hamm Tourney!

The Novice A Cougars battled to beat some of the best teams in eastern Ontario and were rewarded as the 2009 Harold Hamm Tournament Champions.  

At the outset of this twelve team tournament the Cougars knew they had an extremely tough round robin draw.  On Thursday the boys started off with a solid effort tying the talented Kanata Blazers 3-3.  They followed this the next day with a hard fought 4-2 win over Stittsville.  In the last game of the round robin the Cougars proved that they knew how to play at both ends of the ice.  The D-pairings of Josh/Shelton, Sean/Mathieu, combined with great saves from Carter and tenacious backchecking, helped the Cougars shut down the Casselman Predators 8-2. 

In the semi-final on Sunday the boys were matched against a very confident and quick team from Alexandria.  The boys played one of their best games of the year winning 6-3. 

The A-side final was a re-match against the Kanata Blazers (who had gained the single wildcard position for the semis).  With Captain Will Cox in the bleachers with an ‘upper body injury’ the remaining forwards came together.  The lines of Daniel/Cam/Connor together with Will B./Ethan/Camden took turns scoring goals and then grinding out the third period.  Final score:  Cougars 5 – Blazers 1.  Congratulations Novice A. 

Next stop: Ottawa 67’s tourney in December.
