Cougars welcoming Winterhawks for celebratory weekend

Mar 7, 2019 | 6:54 PM

The Cougars have been quiet this week as they prepare for their final four games of the regular season. This weekend they host the Portland Winterhawks for two games, each night with some added significance. Friday is WHL Suits Up with Don Cherry Night.  The Cats will be wearing jerseys inspired by the famous Canadian hockey broadcaster, jerseys that are currently being bid on online. The players’ jerseys will be auctioned off during the month of March with the bidding closing March 22nd. Then on Saturday, the teams are right back for another 7:00 start against the Hawks, where it is Mega Jackpot Night. The team has paired up with United Way to give away a 50/50 jackpot that is guaranteed to be at least $15,000. The Cougars have played Portland just twice this season, losing both on the road. We’ll see if they can snap their 12-game home losing streak starting Friday at 7pm.
