Truth & Reconciliation Game

Last Sunday, the Cougs faced off against the Buccaneers. We united not just as fans but as a community dedicated to Truth and Reconciliation.

We were honoured to welcome Elder Alex Nelson as our special guest speaker, who shared words of wisdom and reflection with both teams.

This day serves as a vital reminder that our commitment extends beyond today. We’ll continue to share a land acknowledgment before every home game and play with engraved pucks to honour the lives lost.

The ceremony was a meaningful experience for both teams as they came together to recognize and honour Truth & Reconciliation with the community.

Scott’s Pucks: CHEK News

Scott Adams, one of our awesome Directors, was featured on CHEK News yesterday for his latest project! Scott has been working on engraved hockey pucks for our home games. They feature the Cougars logo on one side and the Every Child Matters slogan and insignia on the other. These pucks will be used in our upcoming Sunday game and possibly in every home game in the future.

Thank You to Scott, for all the amazing work he does behind the scenes!
