Cougars down Rock County

The best word to describe the 2020-2021 Cap City Cougar club girls hockey team is grit.

The program, like many others, has had to decipher an everchanging route to a season. The co-op includes two Madison school district schools, Madison East and Madison LaFollete, as well as Sun Prairie, DeForest and Waunakee.

Prior to season start in November, it was requested the season be delayed since the Madison athletes were not allowed to participate while their school was virtual. When that request was denied, high school team practice was planned with 10 players per half sheet of ice with masks and distancing. Meanwhile, club teams were being formed in the area and girls were getting offers to play for other teams.
