With three games to report on, the Cougars would like to erase the first one from their memory.
It was a great game on Nov. 16, when the Cougars headed to Carnduff to take on the Red Devils. That game went all the way to a shoot-out with the Cougars being the victors.
But . . . on Nov 29 when the Red Devils came to town, it was nothing like the previous match. The Cougars lost 13-5. Scoring for the Cougars were: Johnstone, Turgeon, McGonigal and Fleck with 2. Turgeon and Shaw each got a helper with Lequyer and McGonigal each getting two. This game was now behind them and so now onto December.
Onto hosting the Coalers, during the Dickens Festival, Friday, Dec. 6th. The score didn’t truly match how this game went. The Coalers won 6-1, with Tyler Matthewson scoring the lone goal for the Cougars in the third. The shots were 30-33 which shows that it was a pretty even battle but it was just one of those games, when no matter how hard you try, it just doesn’t go in. It is the wonderful world of sports.
Saturday, Dec. 7 was time to shake it off and head back into Mustang territory. The Cougars were very excited to welcome Carter Struthers, a former Bemidji Beaver, to the team. The Cougars came out flying, as it was time to get back on track. Turgeon got the Cougars on the board first with help from T. Matthewson and Lequyer. A minute and a half later, Johnstone snipes with Rose getting the assist and then to give us a 3-0 lead, T. Matthewson nets one with McGonigal and J. Matthewson helping him out. Both teams score 2 in the second. Midale worked hard to close the gap. Some great saves by Glasser and help from the D, kept them at bay. Rose and T. Matthewson, scored in the second for the Cougars and Rose getting the lone goal from both teams in the third. It was a 6-2 win for Carlyle.
This Friday, the 13th is the last home game for the Cougars before 2020. It’s also Ugly Christmas Sweater Night, Food Bank Donation Drive and The Teddy Bear Toss. Help us fill tons of boxes up with food for those less fortunate this season and put a smile on a kids face by donating unused stuffies. Your kids will love throwing them on the ice.
Wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas and All The Best in 2020!
