 In front of an appreciative Glace Bay crowd at the Bayplex, the Cougars hand the Halifax Hawks, their first loss of the season 3-1.  Daniel Reid opened the scoring for the CB club, scoring on the PP from Hunter Bettens and Derek Gentile.  The score would stay that way until Logan O'Neil sniped a goal assisted by Dylan Morley and Mitchell Balmas.  Morgan Barron got the Hawks on the board with a PP goal from Graham Rutledge and Micheal O'Leary.  Reid scored his second of the game after a mad scramble in front of Hawks goalie Reilly Pickard, Morley had an assist on the play.  Levi Denny was huge once again for the Cougars making 20 saves.  Pickard had 20 stops in a losing cause.

The 2 teams went head to head again Sunday am, this time, at Emera Centre Northside.  The Cougars jumped out a 2 goal lead in a little over a minte on goals from O'Neil and Balmas 9 seconds later.  Christian Huntley scored to cut the lead to 1 heading to the 2nd.  Morley and Gentile scored early in the 2nd, only to be answered by a PP goal from Ian Drysdale.    The resilient Hawks battled back in the 3rd on goals by Jack Berrigan and Barron to knot the game, final score was 4-4.  Balmas had 2 assists for a 3 point game for Cougars, Morley, Dylan Pimentel, Chase Fraser, Gentile, Brandon Farrell all had single assists.  Micheal O'Leary, Barrett Dachyshyn, Barron, and Gaetan Tremblay had assists for the Hawks.
