Cobourg Cougars and YMCA excited to announce community partnership
The Cobourg YMCA and the Cobourg Cougars are proud to announce a new partnership that will allow the Cougars players to access the YMCA as part of a combined community initiative.
THE COBOURG YMCA IS NOW THE OFFICIAL TRAINING FACILITY FOR THE COBOURG COUGARS.
“We felt that with our staff expertise, excellent state of the art equipment and family oriented atmosphere that it was a perfect fit and we hope the Cobourg Cougars players will find a welcoming place where they belong,” says Jason Jackson, Marketing Coordinator at YMCA Northumberland.
“Player memberships are a huge asset to our entire hockey team! It is so important for our players to have a place where they can train and stay in top physical condition throughout the season. This gives us a competitive edge on the ice, and more importantly, the values based environment of the YMCA provides our boys with an edge in life outside of hockey,” adds Kelly Martin, Marketing Director of the Cougars.
As part of the partnership, the YMCA looks forward to having the Cougars’ players and mascot on hand for promotional events and fundraising initiatives. “The more we talked, the more it became apparent that our missions and charitable views are actually quite similar. We want everyone to belong to the Y, even if you are unable to pay the full fee. The Cougars are the same; they want everyone in our community to be a fan and to attend games, regardless of economic status. We are two organizations deeply rooted in the community with a passion for providing access to sport and recreation opportunities for all,” explains Mr. Jackson.
The Cougars will make their first appearance at the YMCA’s 30/140 Street Party on September 17th in celebration of the Y’s 30 years on Elgin St. and 140 years in Cobourg. Both organizations are looking forward to strengthening a long and lasting relationship.
