The seven seniors from the Cougars being honoured were: Jordan Ritchie, Mateo Perri, Keaston Blais, Jon Tagoona, Zach Tarantini, Michael Chaffay & Kyle Finateri. Ethan Esposito got the party started 9 minutes into the first period to give the Cougars a 1-0 lead. The Panthers would respond 20 seconds later to tie the game at 1-1, and it would remain that way into the first break. Ethan Novello scored midway through the second period to give the Cougars a 2-1 lead before a pair of seniors (Chaffay & Perri) scored in the final 2 minutes of the period to extend the lead to 4-1. Esposito would add 2 more in the 3rd as the Cougars won their regular season finale 8-1. Chaffay finished the night with 3 points (1G, 2A), while Nick Jameus led the team offensively with 4 points (0G, 4A). Zach Tarantini won his final regular season start of his Cougars career, turning aside 21 of 22 shots he faced.
