The Schomberg Cougars crushed their arch rivals the Alliston Hornets 7-1 last Thursday before heading out to Midland to take on the Flyers and taking care of business in a 7-2 affair.
At this point in the season, it’s not much of a surprise that the Cougars can put teams away like this as the boys continue to make a name for themselves across the PJHL as one of the most potent offensive clubs in the league.
The Cougars took the Hornets’ stingers right off their backs, plunging in four goals inside the opening frame and the game was done from there.
Zach Gallow scored his fifth goal of the year, Stuart Barber’s two goals added his tally up to five on the season. James McLean put two of his own in the net as well giving him 10 goals n the year and Marc Bottero got in on the action scoring his 12 of the season. Tristan Szymanowski earned his fifth win of the season. The Cougars netminder improved his GAA to 2.50 and currently holds a 0.862 save percentage.
The next night in Midland it was practically the same story and with the same beginning. Gallow put up his sixth of the season early to get the Cougars on the board in the first period, before Chris Dirracolo potted home his fifth of the season to make it 2-0.
Ryan Graff-Sakasov put the Flyers within one, but Dirracolo got on the board again to take his tally to six on the year.
In the second period, Cameron Kokelj got on the board with his 13 of the season, Dirracolo sealed his hat-trick and Barber and Jordyn Palazzo all got on the score sheet. Graff-Sakasov, added an insurance goal but that second period drubbing sealed it for the Cougars.
With a 9-2-0-1 record so far, the Cougars move up to second place in the North Carruthers Division.
The Cougars are at home this whole week as the boys will host the Huntsville Otters Thursday night at the Trisan Centre before taking on the Hornets once again on Saturday night.
Both puck-drop times are at 7:30 p.m.

The King Township Food Bank (KTFB) is facing an alarming rise in demand for its services, and the organization is calling on the community for urgent support to continue meeting the growing needs of local families. Since its founding in 2004, the food bank has been a vital resource for residents struggling to put food on the table. Despite King Township’s reputation as a wealthy area, food insecurity has long been a reality for many, particularly lower-income families, rural workers, and seniors on fixed incomes. This year, the need has skyrocketed, with the food bank reporting a 66% increase in individuals served since the beginning of 2023.
