The Cobourg Cougars are off to a solid start to the 2018 Ontario Junior Development League season.

Both Cougars’ teams, that is.

After two weeks of OJDL play, Cougars East is atop the East Division with a 3-0 record. Cougars West is in second place in the West with a 3-1 mark.

On Sunday, Cougars West lost 6-3 to the Oakville Blades in Oakville. Two-goal games were recorded by J. P. Parente of Oakville and Cobourg’s Daniel Gaeta. Cougars East won 5-4 over the Whitby Fury in a shootout and 4-2 over the Pickering Panthers.

Sponsored by the Ontario Junior Hockey League, the OJDL dropped the puck on its fourth season this month.

Two five-divisions have begun play. Games take place in Oshawa and Trenton in the East and Etobicoke and Oakville in the West.

Games are scheduled for Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday this week.
