2018 Training Camp Schedule

The Prince George Cougars Hockey Club has announced their 2018 Training Camp schedule.

Training Camp opens to the public on evening of Friday, August 24^th, which runs through to the evening of Wednesday, August 29^th, with the Cougars annual Black versus White game, which is free to the public.

Training Camp rosters will be comprised of returning players, prospects and free-agent invitees who will be grouped into four teams: Bourke, Byfuglien, Chara, and Connolly.

The six-day Training Camp will involve daily practices, off-ice workouts and scrimmages. It will be the first Training Camp for the 2018 WHL Bantam Draft class, that includes first-round selections Craig Armstrong and Ty Brennan, along with 17-year-old CHL Import draft pick Matej Toman.

“I look forward to getting to know not only our returnees but our prospects and invitees,” said General Manager Mark Lamb. “We have a lot of potential to grow and we have a bright future ahead and I’m excited to work with our hockey staff to mold this young group.”

The Cougars “Young Guns” game highlights Friday’s (August 24^th) schedule, as Team Hamhuis faces off against Team Brewer at 6:00 pm. The two rosters consist of listed prospects and free-agent invitees aged 15 to 17-years-old.

Saturday (August 25^th) features two games in the afternoon, which start at 2:30 and 4:30 pm. Sunday (August 26^th) features another two games in the afternoon at 4:00 and 6:00 pm.
