2008-APR-06: Peewee B4 "Cougars" Win GHA Championship
Congratulations to Cumberland Peewee B4 (COUGARS) Head Coach Paul Clarke for winning the GHA house league B2 Championship. After boasting a 2-0-1 record in the quarter finals, the COUGARS faced a very determined Metcalfe Jets (B1) team in the semi-final. With the COUGARS leading 2-0 heading into the 3 rd period, Metcalfe came out strong and potted an early goal. With the score 2-1 and with minutes remaining in the 3 rd , Metcalfe pulled their goalie and held the COUGARS in their end for what seemed to be an eternity. Finally, the COUGARS managed to clear the zone and get a much needed line change. With less than 60 seconds remaining, Metcalfe orchestrated a well rehearsed breakout; however a costly turnover in the neutral zone sealed their fate. The COUGARS scored an empty net goal solidifying a trip to the finals. The stage was set. The COUGARS were matched against a very strong Leitrim Hawks team, who they played in the quarter finals and tied 1-1. Even after their year-end party, a 2 hour skills competition at Ray Friel the night before, and with puck drop scheduled for 9:00 am, the COUGARS were still roaring to go. With tight defence, a speedy offence, and solid netminding, the Hawks were no match for the mighty Cumberland COUGARS, who were victorious 6-2. Special thanks to Gilles Marcil & Jean Landreville (assistants), Pat Grenier (trainer), Marc Brabant (manager), and of course the PARENTS. 2008-MAR-16: Novice C1 "Dragons" Finalists in South End Tournament

Just seeing how excited the Dragons were during this tournament makes any type of volunteering definitely worth it. Congratulations to Amaan, Kevin, Alexandre, Connor, Brandon, Noah, Leif, Cedrick, Alexis, Austin, William, Colin, Adam, Josh, team officials and parents. ============== Les Dragons de Cumberland ont fini la ronde en tête de liste pour affronter les South End Sharks en finale. La troisème période a débuté avec un pointage égal de 2-2. Les Sharks ont ensuite pris une avance de 2 buts. Les Dragons ont alors retiré leur gardien et tenté le tout pour le tout, mais leurs efforts n'ont pas porté fruits. Les Dragons se sont mérités un trophée pour s'être rendu en final. Chaque Dragon aura le trophée en sa possession pendant une journée, questions de le montrer à leur famille et de prendre quelques photos-souvenirs. L'enthousiasme démontré par les Dragons lors du tournoi est la preuve qu'il vaut la peine de s'investir dans le bénévolat! Félicitations à Amaan, Kevin, Alexandre, Connor, Brandon, Noah, Leif, Cedrick, Alexis, Austin, William, Colin, Adam, Josh, aux officiels de l'équipe ainsi qu'aux parents.
