Cobourg Auto Collision
Peewees Are Silver Stick Finalists ... |
|
The Cobourg Auto
Collision Peewees suffered heart break this past weekend in
Pembroke as they finished short of winning the Silver Stick
Regional tournament in Pembroke. In dramatic fashion the
Cougars fought from behind in the final game only to lose in
overtime. The tournament field consisted of eight teams from
the region which all had hopes of qualifying for the International
Silver Stick staged for Port Huron Michigan.
The Cougars
finished the round robin portion of the tournament undefeated with
a 2-0-1 record. With this accomplishment they advanced to
the semi finals where they met up with the Quinte Hawks. The
Hawks had emerged from their pool with some impressive victories
and they had tied the Cougars in league play just the week prior
to the tournament. However the Cougars took on the challenge
with a 5-3 victory propelling them into the finals against the
Nepean Raiders.
Nepean had not only
advanced to the final with three victories in the round robin, a
shut out victory in the semi finals against Gloucester but managed
to do all this without allowing a goal all weekend. Four straight
shut out victories in their quest for the Silver Stick title.
The final game was
as good as the anticipation heading up to it as these two teams
finished tops in their pool and both seemed set on making their
mark with a championship victory.
Nepean scored first
midway through the third period to break the dead lock and take
the games first lead. With no goals being scored on them the
entire tournament, it appeared that Nepean had the victory in
their sight. The Cougars however had a different idea as
they continued to pressure the Nepean squad and force
opportunities to tie the game. With the goal tender pulled
and the extra attacker on the ice, the Cougars sent the Cougar
nation screaming with a timely goal with 11.8 seconds left on the
clock. Owen Whately scored for Cobourg giving Cobourg
new life in their championship bid.
Could the first
goal scored against this tough Nepean team sink their psyche or
would they bounce back? The answer to the question came
quickly in over time as Nepean scored the game winner in the first
minute of play. Utilizing a 3-3 format, Nepean scored
winning the game in dramatic fashion. The Cougars had
been denied an opportunity to head to Port Huron to compete for
the International Title. |

got through the Cobourg defense and scored another to bring the
score to 3 – 1. The Cougars didn’t give up and hustled
offensively to produce a goal by Ian Holmquist, assisted by

Cobourg Novice
Cougars Roll Over Ajax... |
|
The Cobourg Novice Cougars
rolled over Ajax 10-0 Thursday night at home thanks to an
offensive outpouring, and stand up defence coupled with solid
goaltending from Nick Olivia.
Cobourg opened the scoring
early. With some strong Cobourg forechecking, Lance Birney banked
in a shot off the goalies skate from behind the net at 1:10 of the
1st. Cobourg made it 2-0 in the 1st when Liam Boyle fed a wide
open Nolan Stevenson who skated in all alone and picked the top
right corner to bury the puck at the 2:39 mark. Matthew Bazinette
made it 3-0 at 5:05 in the opening period when he fired the puck
past a screened netminder.
Bazinette scored his second
of the game when he broke down the left wing, over the blue line,
fired a shot from the faceoff circle that found its way just
inside the right post at 1:34 of the 2nd. Cobourg went up 5-0 at
the 2:36 mark of the 2nd when Nolan Fitzgerald stripped the puck
from an Ajax attacker in the neutral zone. Fitzgerald then fed Ian
Maclean who split the defence, made a move then slid the puck
under a falling Ajax goalie. Ian Maclean scored his second of the
night when he banged in a Nolan Fitzgerald rebound at the 6:00
mark of the 2nd.
At 1:19 of the third, Nolan
Fitzgerald converted a Lance Birney pass behind the net, and
jammed the puck in shortside. Karrisa Hoskin was rewarded for her
consistent play all game when she lifted a Nolan Fitzgerald
rebound high over a fallen goalie at 4:44 of the 3rd. At the 6:44
mark of the 3rd, Liam Boyle jumped on a Joey Dyson rebound,
burying it deep. Will Baayen also assisted on the play. Brody
Fitzgerald finished Cobourgs scoring at the 9:18 mark of the 3rd
when he took a pass from Karrisa Hoskin and broke down the right
wing firing a shot that beat the Ajax goalie.
Often overlooked in a high
scoring game are the little things that keep play alive....the 3rd
and 4th assists. Cobourgs defence did an excellent job of keeping
the puck in the offensive zone on many occasions.
Although held to 1 point,
Cobourgs defencemen Trevor Cameron, Joseph Davis, Kaden Johnson,
Ben Cavanaugh, Ian Holmquest, and Will Baayen deserve mentioning
for consistently shutting down Ajax players in the neutral zone,
keeping the offensive play alive.
The Cougars headed to
Memorial Arena in Belleville Sunday November 9th to face an
undefeated Belleville team. Cobourg came out blazing with a 1st
minute goal fed to a breaking away Karissa Hoskins by Brody
Fitzgerald. Belleville answered quickly taking the lead by 3 - 1
by the middle of the first period. Another goal near the end of
the second period brought the lead up by one to 4-1.
Cobourg didn't give up and
answered with a goal at the beginning of the 3rd period by Nolan
Fitzgerald. Belleville answered with 3 more goals in the 3rd
period for a decisive win of 7-2 over the Cougars.
Cobourg hosts Belleville
Friday November 14th at 7:45 for a much anticipated rematch.

Novice Cougars Hang On To Victory... |
|
For the second consecutive game, the Cobourg Sommerville Novice
Cougars kept their fans on their toes. Hosting the unbeaten Whitby Wildcats at
home Thursday night . The young Cougars held off a late game
attack to hold on to a 3-2 victory. Taking a 3-0 lead into the
3rd, it appeared that Cobourg was cruising to victory. A hungry
Whitby team had other plans.
Cobourg got off to a good start when Ian Maclean picked up the
puck near the Cougars bench, busted in across the blue line, cut
between the defense and buired a wrist shot high above the Whitby
goalies glove at 2:45 of the 1st. Kadan Johnson and Will Baayen
drew assists on the play.
Cobourg then took a 2-0 lead at 4:22 of the 2nd thanks to Joey
Dyson. Dyson picked the puck up going down the right wing, went
around one defenseman, cut hard to the net and wristed a shot high
over the goalies shoulder. Assisting on Dysons goal was Lance
Birney and Matthew Bazinett.
The game remained 2-0 until 4:41 of the 3rd when Maclean tucked in
a Liam Boyle rebound for his second of the night. With Whitby
facing their first defeat of the season they mounted a late game
comeback scoring 2 goals late in the 3rd, but Cobourg held on for
the win. (story submitted by Garth Birney) |

Cobourg Sommerville Novice Cougars
Get a Trick and a Treat for Halloween ... |
|
The Cobourg Sommerville Novice Cougars headed west Saturday to
face Whitby for a rematch after a 3-2 victory Thursday night.
Everyone was expecting a close game, but no one was ready for a
recharged Whitby squad. Stellar goaltending frustated the Cobourg
shooters, and an aggressive offence gave the Cobourg defense
more than they could handle. Whitby cruised to a 5-0 victory.
Coach Blaine Johnson spoke of the game....." We didn't play as a
team and it showed. We did have the puck in their end for a large
part of the hockey game, and their goalie was outstanding, but we
played as individuals.....not passing, not fore checking, and we
got what we deserved. We have to play as a team, and on Saturday
we didn't....hence the outcome".
On Sunday, the Jr.Cougars headed west again. This time they paid a
visit to the Pickering Panthers, trying to salvage something from
this weekend. Whatever Coach Johnson and his staff said before the
game sure worked. With Saturdays loss fresh in their minds,
Cobourg opened up an offensive and defensive show. Stick to stick
passing, strong fore checking, aggression to the net, provided
lots of offensive opportunities. Stripping players of the puck in
the neutral zone, and clearing the puck, Cobourgs defense held
Pickering to minimal offensive chances. This all resulted in a 9-2
victory for a dramatically 24 hour changed team. Leading Cobourg's
scoring was Matthew Bazinett, and Ian Maclean with 2 goals and 2
assists each, Joey Dyson with 2 goals and an assist, Lance Birney,
and Brody Fitzgerald each potted 1 goal and 1 assist. Liam Boyle
had a goal, Nolan Fitzgerald had 3 assists, Karrisa Hoskin with a
pair of assists, and Nolan Stevenson had an assist. The young
Cougars still sit in contention atop the OMHA standings and host
Ajax this Thursday night at 6:45 pm.

Minor Peewees Fall
Short... |
|
The Cobourg Cougars Minor Peewees fell
a bit short this week as they battled hard in a 6 – 4 loss to
Belleville. Belleville managed a couple of first period goals,
the Cougars scored 2 in the second , 1 by Mitchell Jackson with
assists from Jesse Orser and Josh Jeschke and 1 by Chays Ruddy
assisted by Orser and Connor Stover but gave up another one to
Belleville. Cobourg scored 2 in the third period on goals by
Tyler Herron and Mitchel Jackson with assist by Jeschke, Gray
Eldridge, Jeff Christensen and Harrison Cooper, but Bellville
countered with three to close the game. It was an exiting, tight
checking game with only a couple of penalties to each team for
minor infractions..

There Is No Place Like
Home .... |
|
The Cobourg Auto Collision Peewees
won yet another home tournament this weekend with an impressive
play down Sunday. After finishing the round robin portion of
the tournament with a 2-1 record, the Cougars finished off the
weekend with two straight Sunday wins to keep the championship
trophy safely in the showcase in the hallowed halls of Memorial
Arena.
The Cougars commenced their defense of
the Cobourg Home tournament with a 5-1 victory over the Brantford
99ers. The Cougars quickly jumped out to a 5-0 lead in the
first two periods with goals coming from Jack DiMarco, Owen
Whately, Trevor McNeely, Anthony Melchionna, and Josh Maguire.
Helping on the goals with assists were Owen Whately (2), Anthony
Melchionna(2), Trevor McNeely(2) and Conor Lowry.
Game two of the round robin play lined the Cougars against
the Toronto Colts. The Colts were undefeated in the short lived
2008 season and they intended on keeping it that way. The Colts
handed the Cougars a sound beating keeping the Cougars off the
score sheet with a 3-0 victory.
The Cougars faced
Richmond Hill in
their last round robin game and they needed a win in game three to
advance to the play off round. Making no mistakes about their
intent, the Cougars were fired up and delivered on a much needed
5-2 victory to advance. The goal scorers for Cobourg were Anthony
Melchionna(2), Jack DiMarco, Conor Lowry and Trevor McNeely
Helping out on the scoring were Owen Whately, Jack DiMarco, Joe
Drobac, Trevor McNeely and Josh Maguire.
The semi final match had the home
town Cougars faced up against their eastern nemesis Belleville
Bulls. In the opening twelve seconds of play the Cougars
began the onslaught when Owen Whately scored with assists going to
Melchionna and Maguire. Pin point passing amongst the trio
culminated with a picture perfect shot by Whately into a wide open
Belleville goal.
Just a couple of minutes later,
Riley Turland scored his first goal of the tournament on a point
shot from the slot. Linemates Jack DiMarco and Cameron
Murphy cycled the puck around the net when DiMarco found Turland
wide open for the pass. Turland's wrist shot was a rocket
that found the back of the net giving the Cougars an early two
goal lead.
Anthony Melchionna continued to
find the scoresheet when he connected on a pass from Josh Maguire.
Maguire found himself with the puck fending off Belleville
attackers in the offensive zone...yet Maguire found the strength
to find Melchionna open for the scoring opportunity.
Maguire not to be outdone
finished off the scoring for Cobourg to send the Bulls home with a
5-1 loss. Maguire scored two second period goals with help
from Owen Whately, Ali Razaiy, Anthony Melchionna and Shayne
Ruddy. The Cougars coasted the rest of the way on route to the
finals against the Toronto Colts.
The Cougars faced the Toronto Colts in
the tournament final. The same Colt team that had handed them a
3-0 loss earlier in tournament play. The Colts and Cougars played
what turned out to be a tight checking heavy hitting game of cat
and mouse. End to end action entertained the packed memorial
arena with both goaltenders keeping the puck out of the net.
The Cougars took the lead at the end of the first period as
time ran out. Anthony Melchionna with help from Shayne Ruddy and
Owen Whately scored as the horn sounded on an intense goal mouth
scramble. The goal was Melchionna’s fifth of the tournament and
the one that would ultimately send the Colts packing.
Both teams played hard and no further scoring would occur
until Josh Maguire scored an empty net goal to seal the victory
for the Cougars. The Cougars had finished the tournament with a
4-1 record and handed the undefeated Toronto Colts their first
loss of the year on route to the title as Champions.
The Cougars success through the tournament was largely due to
the goaltending tandem of Michael Rolph and Branson Schell.
Schell’s performance in the final game against the Colts was the
deciding factor that crowned the Cougars as Champs. |

Lakeland Minor Bantams Clip Quinte West Hawks... |
|
Lakeland Minor Bantams skated to a 5-3 victory Sunday afternoon
against the Quinte West Hawks. Cobourg set the tone of the game
early on, with tough aggressive play at both ends of the rink.
Jake Campbell and Mitchell Gibson set the pace for the Cobourg
squad with some fine offensive and defensive play throughout the
game.
Cameron Leeds put Cobourg on the boards at 10:23 in the first
period when Micaela Smith picked up a loose puck in the offensive
zone and fed Leeds all alone out front of the Quinte West net.
Leeds wasted little time burying the puck between the pads
with a perfect shot along the ice.
Trenton responded less than a minute later on a deflected shot
from the point that eluded Cobourg goaltender Jake Kawzenuk.
Leeds put Cobourg ahead again at the
5:35 mark in the first on a great three way pass combination from
Jake Campbell and Riley Line. Riley Line turned in another good
game for Cobourg playing alongside Mitchell Gibson and Brandon
Dennis. Mitchell Gibson’s hard work in the neutral zone paid off
for Cobourg at the 2.33 mark of the first period when he was able
to fed Adam Gauthier the puck at the Quinte West blue line.
Gauthier’s hard wrist shot caused the Quinte West goalie to cough
up a big rebound that Alexander Knapper buried home into the wide
open net.
Quinte West struck early in the second period on the power play
closing the gap to 3-2 for Cobourg. Less than 2 minutes later
Quinte West tied the game all even on a nice even strength goal
from the point. Cobourg responded by taking over the play for the
remainder of the period rattling a few shots of the Quinte West
goal posts. The game headed into the third period all even at 3-3.
Jake Campbell put Cobourg ahead at the mid-point of the third
period on a beautiful backhand shot that picked the top corner of
the net over the Quinte West goaltender. Cobourg put the game on
ice in the last two minutes of play when Jake Campbell fed
Mitchell Gibson who was left all alone out front of the Quinte
West net. Gibson wasted little time firing a nice backhand shot
over a sprawling Quinte West goalie that had no chance in making
the save.

Lakeland Minor Bantams
Tame
Pickering Panthers... |
|
The
Cobourg Lakeland Minor Bantams skated to a 7-1 victory over the
Pickering Panthers Tuesday night at Memorial Arena in Cobourg.
Riley Line led the way for Cobourg with a breakout game scoring
three goals for the Cobourg side.
Cameron Leeds put the home side on the boards early in the first
period on a nice deflection off Trent Stevenson’s shot from the
point.
Leeds responded less than six minutes later with his second
goal of the evening on a fine three way pass combination from
Hayden Arff and Mitchell Gibson. Riley Line scored his first of
three on the night two minutes later when Mitchell Gibson found
him all alone in front of the
Pickering netminder. Cameron Leeds started the play down deep in
the Pickering end along with line mate Gibson on some fine cycling
of the puck. Cobourg went ahead 4-0 before the end of the first
period when Brandon Dennis fired home a shot from high in the slot
off Devin McLean pass from the corner. The four goal performance
in one period of play has been Cobourgs best effort to date in the
early going of the season.
Pickering scored their lone goal of the evening early in the
second period on an even strength tally. Cobourg netminder Jayden
Snyder shut the Pickering side down from that point on putting in
another strong performance for the Cobourg side. The game settled
down from that point forward to late in the second period when
Alexander Knapper scored on a great setup pass from Jake Campbell.
The game headed into the third period with Cobourg comfortably
ahead 5-1. Riley Line scored his second goal of the evening on an
unassisted effort when he split the defensive unit of Pickering
and fired home a shot to the top corner of the Pickering net. Line
completed his hat trick at the mid-point of the third period on a
goalmouth scramble. Alexander Knapper and Adam Gauthier assisted
on the play, giving Knapper his second consecutive strong game
performance for Cobourg.

Lakeland Minor Bantams
Skate To Victory ... |
|
Lakeland Minor Bantams
skated to victory on the road Thursday night against the Pickering
Panthers. Team captain Mitchell Gibson centering a line between
wingers Cameron Leeds and Riley Line provided an explosive offence
that provided the leadership for the Cobourg side. The deadly
combination combined for four goals on the night, providing the
only offence that Cobourg would need to hold off Pickering.
Pickering jumped on an early
opportunity in the first period when Cobourg was serving a major
penalty infraction. Heading in the second period with Pickering
leading 1-0, the Cobourg team settled down defensively allowing
the offence to go to work. Early in the second period with a
face-off down low in the Pickering end, center Jake Campbell drew
the puck back to Riley Line who buried the biscuit over the
shoulder of the Pickering goalie squaring the game all even.
Mitchell Gibson put Cobourg
ahead on the boards at the mid point of the second period when
Pickering failed to clear the puck from their end of the rink. The
combination of Riley Line and Cameron Leeds provided some great
play down low in the Pickering end along the boards trapping
Pickering in their own end of the rink. Gibson, feeding off the
cycling play of Leeds and Line slipped a perfect pass in on the
short side of the Pickering goalie. Pickering again tied the game
all square late in the period leaving the game to decided in the
third period.
Cameron Leeds provided the
much need offensive leadership early in the third period when
Micaela Smith fed him a pass up the center of the ice. Leeds split
the Pickering defensive tandem perfectly and buried the puck
behind the Pickering netminder to put Cobourg ahead 3-2. Pickering
responded less than 30 seconds later on the power play to again
square the game all even. Leeds again stepped up his leadership
role on the team and put Cobourg ahead for good late in the period
with Mitchell Gibson providing some great offensive work alongside
the boards. With the play trapped in the neutral zone, Gibson
managed to free the puck alongside the boards and hit Leeds with a
perfect pass. Leeds wasted no time in burning the defensive unit
of Pickering for the second time in the period. Cobourg's
defensive unit then went to work late in the period in combination
with some great goaltending from Jayden Snyder shutting down the
Pickering side for the remainder of the game.

Diemo Minor Atoms
Steam Roll Weekend Competition... |
|
Rather
then relaxing and eating turkey this past Thanksgiving weekend the
Cobourg Diemo Minor Atom Jr Cougars set out on a marathon of
hockey playing 7 games in just over 50 hours. The minor atom's
were a last minute call up to play in the Peterborough
Thanksgiving Tournament which was in addition to two Lakeshore
League games that were already scheduled for the same weekend.
The
Cougars were up for the challenge completeing the weekend with a
record of six wins and one tie and winning the Tournament
Championship in hard fought battle 3-1 against a strong St. Thomas
team. Every player on the team made it to the score sheet as they
outscored their opponents 36-9 and outshooting them 233-57. The
coaching staff was proud and happy with the physical and mental
toughness and the determination that was a treat to watch as this
group of 9 year old boys showed what the team concept of hockey is
all about. The weekend although very hectic was a great bonding
time for the team and I believe the parents enjoyed some good
times of their own. (story submitted by
