The Cougars first ever "Open House" was more than  Business Manager Brandy Brodsky had  expected.  "We had more than 600 fans come through in a little over an hour" says Brandy  "That was way more than I had expected,and they were all so positive!  Some gave me some really good ideas!"  

The  Cougars opened their doors,  at the  front office and in the dressing room,  to  fans of all ages.

The one hour  open house was so improtant to some fans, the  Cougars got a call from a family in Vanderhoof asking them to be sure to  stick around ’till they  could get there  The family closed  it’s business early and made it  to the CN Centre  in time to meet with several players and the folks in the head office.

"This is definitely something we will do again next year" says Business Manager Brandy Brodsky, "The fans were so positive,  this was my most favourite day on the job!"
