Keegan O'Neill picked up the puck just inside Cole Harbour's endzone and skated to the top of the circle and let a snapshot go to pick the top corner to give the Cougars a 4-3 win and a split for the weekend. Billy Cameron opened the game with a shot from the point to give us a lead after the 1st period. After Cole Harbour went ahead 2-1, Captain Seymour scored his 1st of the game to knot the score at 2-2 after two periods. Seymour scored his 2nd of the game to gives us the lead just 19 seconds into the 3rd. Cole Harbour tied the game midway though the 3rd on the PP. That set up the overtime and O'Neill's heroics. Veteran Daniel Young helped set up both Seymour goals. Cameron also had an assist. Stonehouse earned his 2nd victory of the year while kicking out 18 of 21 shots. The Cougars record stands at (4-2-0) after 6 games.

On Saturday the Cougars suffered a 5-1 loss at the hands of The Gulls (6-0-0). The Gulls jumped out to a 2-0 lead after one and 5-0 after 2 periods. Bresson held the score in the 3rd while stopping all 20 shots. Rookie Pilling scored a shorthanded goal to break the shutout with a nice individual effort. O'Neill with an apple. In total Bresson kicked out 41 of 46 shots.

The Cougars will hit the road Nov 7th and 8th for their 3rd road trip in 4 weekends to start the season. They will play the Valley Wildcats (1-5-0) on Saturday, then play the Dartmouth Whalers (3-3-0) on Sunday. They return home Nov 14th and 15th to take on the Halifax Wolverines (3-2-1) for two games.
