The Cougars played their final game of the season against the first
place Santa Clara Blackhawks A1. The Blackhawks scored the games first goal late
in the first period after a tentative start by both teams. The Cougars
were determined not to let their opponents get away from them and the second
period was scoreless with good scoring chances on both sides. The teams continued
to battle in the third period with the Blackhawks adding another goal. The Cougars
did not give up and with 3:45 remaining scored to set up an exciting finish.
Unfortunately the Cougars could not score again and the Blackhawks added
an empty net goal. Overall the game showed the tremendous improvement of the
Cougars over the course of the year.

If you want to see the individual player stats for the year click on the following links:
The statistics are broken into Regular season and Preseason/Exhibiton/Tournament. They are
not perfect as they rely on on the scoresheets and I know of at least 2 instances where goals have
been credited to the wrong player by the referee (don't even get me started about assists!).
Overall please remember that hockey is a team game and individual statistics often do not capture
many aspects of the game or players contributions.
