Cougars travelled to Metcalfe Friday night to play last-place Jets. Cougars were losing 4-2 and came back to win 5-4 in overtime. Two goals came from team captain Mikael Bissonette and two more came from assistant captain Joshua Desjardins. A fifth goal came from the other assistant captain Eric Skyba.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were a little shaky but we have to give them credit,\u201d said head coach Franky Dopelhammer. \u201cFor a last-place team, they played well and didn\u2019t give us many openings. They capitalized on their chances. In the end, our guys pulled through and we won.\u201d<\/p>\n

On Sunday, a depleted Cougars team of 13 players, including one call-up, travelled to Cardinal Arena to face the South Grenville Rangers, currently standing at the top of the league on points.<\/p>\n

Cougars took it to the Rangers, leading 5-2 after the second period. Rangers made a comeback in the third period, scoring four consecutive goals to win the game 6-5.<\/p>\n

 Cougars currently have to deal with a few injuries. Some players also could not attend because they have high school exams, and one player, Brenden Easterbrook, was thrown out of the game because of a hitting from behind penalty. The Cougars finished the game with 12 players.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the third period, it was clearly fatigue that killed us,\u201d said Dopelhammer. \u201cWe could see the guys were tired in the third. Our call-up, Edward Ranger, played super well. I was surprised to see how well he did.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
