History

The Schomberg Cougars were founded in 1969 as a member of the South-Central Junior D Hockey League. [ [http://www.officialgamepuck.com/TownIndex/Canadian/OntarioTowns/SchombergCougars.htm Schomberg Cougars ] ] There had been a Junior team from the Metro Junior B Hockey League playing for a couple years in the early 1960's. [ [http://www.officialgamepuck.com/TownIndex/Canadian/OntarioTowns/Schomberg.htm Schomberg ] ]

In 1973, the Cougars and their league was promoted, as the league became the Central Ontario Junior C Hockey League. Three seasons later the league became the Mid-Ontario Junior C Hockey League. [ [http://www.officialgamepuck.com/TownIndex/Canadian/OntarioTowns/SchombergCougars.htm Schomberg Cougars ] ]

Not a lot is known about the Mid-Ontario league other than what teams played in it. Their competition revolved the Orangeville Crushers and Bradford Bulls, but it is unknow if the Cougars won any league titles.

In 1994, the Mid-Ontario Junior C Hockey League merged with the Georgian Bay Junior C Hockey League. The Cougars continued as members, but the league was dominated by teams like the Stayner Siskins and the Fergus Devils.

The year-to-year play of the Cougars could be considered as inconsistent, but in 2002-03 the Cougars finished the regular season as the league's top team. They even went on to win their first and only Georgian Mid-Ontario Junior C Championship. The Cougars did not manage to reach the Clarence Schmalz Cup finals.

The 2005-06 season saw the Cougars finish in fifth place in the Georgian Mid-Ontario league. They entered the playoffs against the fourth seeded Erin Shamrocks. The Shamrocks made quick work of the Cougars, finishing the series 4-games-to-1. [ [http://www.ohahockey.org/ Home | Ontario Hockey Association ] ]

The 2006-07 season had the Cougars finish in sixth place. In the league quarter-final, the Cougars ran into a brick wall called the Alliston Hornets who swept the Cougars 4-games-to-none. [ [http://www.ohahockey.org/ Home | Ontario Hockey Association ] ]
