Len Taylor coached the team for six years and carried out the duties of president at the same time.

The Cougars continued as members, but the league was dominated by teams like the Stayner Siskins and the Fergus Devils.

The Cougars did not manage to reach the Clarence Schmalz Cup finals after losing in four straight games to the Hanover Barons of the Western Ontario Junior C Hockey League.
