But it was a big game for Jonathan Lacroix, with four goals and an assist. Jonathan was the player of the game, he could’ve scored seven goals, he was so fast and creating so many (scoring) opportunities, it was a pleasure to watch.” Nicolas Castonguay, Dopelhamer noted, also proved part of the Cougars’ strength Sunday night, assisting on four of the five goals scored that night. His own scoring efforts this season has also made him the top-scoring player now in the National Capital Junior Hockey League (NCJHL) with a total of 39 points. “The Cougars had a game plan and played it really well,” stated Dopelhamer, about Sunday’s performance in Saint-Isidore. “Keeping last year’s top-two scoring team of Saint-Isidore’s Brunette and Howson off a scoresheet is not an easy task, but we did it.” Scoring goals over the weekend for
