Chatham-Kent Cougars Kicking Off Season

The Chatham-Kent Cougars begin their 2013 Ontario Football Conference season Saturday, May 25 on the road, before returning home for their home opener next weekend.

Saturday, the Chatham-Kent Cougars Senior Varsity team travels to play the Hamilton Hurricanes. Kick off is at 4 p.m. The Cougars defeated Hamilton last season at both the Varsity and Junior levels.

The Cougars, who are coming off a franchise best season, host their home opener June 1, at 7:30 p.m. against the Brantford Bisons in Chatham. The game will be played under the lights at the Chatham-Kent Community Athletic Complex, and the back campus of CKSS.

In their fourth season at the Senior Varsity level, the Cougars are looking to build off a 4-3-1 campaign last season, which placed them 5th overall in the OFC.

Chatham-Kent will again run programs at the Peewee, Bantam, Junior, and Varsity levels. The Cougars have become a major development location for players hoping to earn scholarships to Canadian and American universities.

The Peewee Cougars will host the Brantford Bisons May 25 in Chatham under the lights at CKSS at 7:30pm, and the Burlington Stampeders Sunday, June 2 at 4pm.
