The Bantam Cougars have played four games of hockey since coming back from the Christmas break. Jan.5 we traveled to Stoughton and Jan 8 we hosted Weyburn Co-op at home. The Cougars won both these games . Jan.12 the team was at home to the Kipling Royals. The Cougars were a little slow getting going in the first period. Kipling put the first point on the board late in the period with the Cougars answering back in the last two minutes with two goals. First from Shaw, Second from Big Eagle with Turgeon assisting both. Second period Carlyle really stepped up their game with some good hard skating and great passing plays to add a whopping nine points to Kipling's one. Goals were from: Turgeon, Shaw, Anderson, Big Eagle and Hengen. Assists from: McCrimmon, Turgeon, Big Eagle, Hengen, and Drake Smith. Third period Jodi Black shut down the Kipling team while her team mates continued their offensive drive and added another three goals to the scoreboard. Starr assisted by Stigings and D. Smith, Drake Smith with help from Hengen and Anderson assisted by Turgeon. Jan.16 the Cougars traveled to Weyburn to face the Rams. The score was 3-1 in favour of Carlyle after the first period. Starr was the first to net a goal for the Cougars with help from Anderson and McCrimmon. McCrimmon put away Carlyle's second goal by picking up the rebound shot by Jack Easton and Kirkland Chalus scored our third of the period assisted by Turgeon. Not too much action taking place during the second period, Black kept all shots from the Rams out of our net and the Cougars were able to poke two quick goals from Turgeon and Anderson with help from McCrimmon and Starr in the last minute and thirty seconds of the period. Third period was much of the same, the Weyburn team managed to slip one shot past Black but the Cougars added three more to their lead from Hengen ,Turgeon and Big Eagle assisted by Drake Smith.
