Brand new to the Port Hope Panthers’ bench and entering his first-ever coaching gig within the Ontario Junior Hockey League East’s Tod Division, new head coach Drew Allenby is optimistic he can mold a roster of mostly rookie players into a team that plays with fire and consistency.

With a successful pre-season schedule now behind them, the Cobourg Cougars seem ready for the Ontario Junior Hockey League (OJHL) regular-season campaign to start.
