Four Cougars had multi-point nights and goalie Ty Edmonds turned aside 31 of the
The Cougars got goals from Chase Witala, Jansen Harkins, Jari Erricson, Haydn Hopkins with his first ever WHL goal, Chance Braid and Aaron Macklin with an empty-netter with under a minute remaining.
Special teams were a major difference in the game, as the Cougars killed off all eight of their minor penalties, and were able to come up with one power play goal on their nine tries.
Shots on goal were dead even at 34-34.
So the Cougars start the season with a victory and look to move to 2 and 0 later tonight in Tri-Cities against the Americans. Game time 5pm from the Toyota Center.

Go Cougs!
Go cats go! There’s gonna be a big crowd for the home opener!
Funny that they haven’t posted today’s game yet. 7-0 whooping by the hands of the Tri-City Americans. The Cougars racked up 73 minutes in penalties. With those kind of numbers, Paul Newman must have been on the ice.
That puts them at 500 on the road so far, can’t ask for much more than that. Home is where the heart is – go Cats!
Not making excuses but they arrived in Kennewick at 4 am. TC slept in their own beds comfortably. To me it looked like the team was dead tired, which they probably were.
Honestly coming out of that weekend 1-1 is a great result, 2-0 would have been fantastic.
On to next week, the home opener and the dreaded kelowna rockets!
