Old-timers alumni game to mark Cougars 20th anniversary

The Vankleek Hill Junior C Cougars will host an "old-timers" alumni game on Saturday, December 17 to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the team.

Hockey fans and local residents are invited to come and see former players Marc and Claude Berniqué, Mike Horner, Eric Poulin, Steve Barton and others in action.

"I'm one of the old guys that were on that championship team (20 years ago)," said Barton. "Hopefully, we can get all the old players back."

The action begins at the Vankleek Hill Community Centre at 5 p.m., followed by a spaghetti dinner and silent auction at 8 p.m. Both events will help raise money for this year's Cougars team.

The regular Cougars game takes place after the alumni game, with the puck dropping at 7:30 p.m.

Tickets for the evening are $20, and the upstairs bar will be open for the event. For tickets and more information, call Marc Berniqué at 613-330-2271.
