“Community Heroes Weekend always proves to be a fun and exciting weekend for the Cougars. It’s special to get so many essential workers under the same roof watching great hockey and having a great time with one another. Seeing local businesses step up and provide tickets for them and their families is also extremely rewarding. Watching the 50/50 jackpot grow into the six digits and seeing the frenzy that goes along with that is awesome every time,” outlined Taylor Dakers, the Prince George Cougars Director of Business Operations.
