Marlo DeRosa had the shutout in net for the Cubs turning aside 13 shots in the win.

Friday night in the home opener, the Cubs came up short against the Cannex Cochrane Generals with a 5-4 loss.

A trio of new forwards for the Cubs had connected on the games first goal, a power play marker half way through the first period with Cole Fisher finding the back of the net, assisted by Josiah Jackson and Connor Chapman.

The Generals would respond just 19 seconds later on the first of two goals by Lincoln Pidsadowski in the period.

The lead was extended by the Generals to 3-1 early in the second, before the Cubs responded with goals from forwards Carson Kraft, Cole Fisher, and Randen Collier.

The Cubs 4-3 lead heading into the third wouldn’t hold up, as the Generals scored a pair of power play to take the win.

Coming out of the weekend, Kyle Woolridge continues to hold his lead on the Heritage Junior Hockey League scoring race, with eight points through four games.

The Cubs 2-2 record puts them in third place in the Gary Wournell South Division, just two point back of both the Cannex Cochrane Generals and Coaldale Copperheads.

The Cubs are back in action on Saturday when they play the Mountview Colts in Didsbury, followed by a game in Sylvan Lake against the Wranglers Sunday afternoon.
