Origins Of The Cougar
October 21, 2008 Posted in Entertainment
A little trivia for you: The origins of the term “cougar” dates back to the 1980′s when members of the Vancouver Canucks used it in the locker room as a derogatory name for the team’s older groupies. But the concept has been around much longer.
Hot, tight-bodied older women have always fueled younger men’s sexual fantasies since our fathers were our age. (Just watch 1967′s The Graduate to see Dustin Hoffman seduced by pop-culture’s first cougar.) But now that every “The View”-watching wildcat is lusting after boy-toy ass, a new breed of sexed-up older ladies is upon us – and no man is safe.

Yep, that pic of Tina Fey bending over is, um, yeah. Makes you want to come up behind her and…well…you know.
The Canucks story is believable, although they might not be the "true" origins, it's as good as any. I will say it's definitely a locker-room hockey term from the 80's, because that's where it came to me.
It was common slang around Western Canada by the end of that decade if you were a twenty-something male at the time (as I was) although we would use the term "Coog" more often than the full "Cougar".
If you played mens league hockey (guys in their 20's + 30's, mostly) you were a "Rink Rat" … means you spend all day and night at the rink.
In Eastern Canada they call hockey groupies "Puck Bunnies". I don't hear that one much out West.
"East" and "West" in Canada refers to a line drawn at the Manitoba/Ontario border; basically at Minnesota/Wisconsin if you live in the US, or if you project it south, a line drawn down to Texas/Louisiana.
