Cougars Win the Cup

After a home and away season dominated by the powerful Eagles, the Cougars took to the field (under Captain - Ted Murray, Vice Captain - Ward Frost and Vice Captain - Brad Jorgensen) for the first game in the round robin grand final tournament, determined not to go down without a final attempt to outplay their Eagles foe.

And fight the Cougars did!! To a man everyone put their bodies on the line and put in an inspired performance. Albeit under stressful circumstances with a 50 metre penalty being awarded to the Eagles as the final siren sounded. A goal would have robbed the Cougars of a hard fought victory! 35 metres out! Alas, as if scripted by a hollywood screenwriter the ball was kicked slightly wide and the Cougars sealed a 3 point win! Victory over the Eagles at last!

Game #1 Final Score -
Vancouver Cougars 3.6.24 beating Burnaby Eagles 3.3.21

Goal Scorers - Brad Jorgensen, Ryan, Scott Fleming

This was followed up with Seattle comfortably beating the Eagles in the
second game, knocking them out of contention all together and ending their season.

Game #2 Final Score -
Seattle 9.6.60 beating Burnaby Eagles 5.5.35

Given that both Seattle and Vancouver were guaranteed a spot in the Grand Final the third round robin game was cancelled and both teams prepared for the "big one".

The stage was set for a classic Seattle v Vancouver Grand Final, and the Cougar boys were not to be denied, taking an early lead, maintaining a slendor margin throughout the first 3 qtrs, then bagging 3 goals 2 behinds to 2 goals 1 behind (Seattle) in the fourth for a great victory!!!

As with past Cougar Grand Finals we didn't go unscathed, notching up 1 blood nose (Ryan) and a deep headcut (Sam) which required a visit to the UBC hospital for stitches before recuperating at Mahoney's. It even looked like umpire
Grills would have to be stretchered off after being collected by an errant
Eagle in their game against Seattle.

2007 Grand Final - Final Score

Vancouver "Cougars" 11.10.76

Seattle "Grizzlies" 8.9.57

Goal Scorers - to be announced!!

All in all an AWESOME end to a great year - with the Cougars taking the CUP for 2007.
