A trio of Prince George hockey players heard their names called over the weekend at the NHL entry draft. First off the board was Spruce Kings defenceman Layton Ahac, selected by Vegas in the 3rd round. He had 32 points in 53 games with the Kings this year, and is committed to Ohio State University in the NCAA for next season. Next up, a goalie but maybe not the one you’d think. Logan Neaton is bound for Winnipeg after being picked in Round 5. The 20-year-old netminder was a wall for the Kings this past season, posting a sub-2 goals against average and a .914 save percentage. Finally, the 7th round, the one and only Cougar was taken. The Chicago Blackhawks using pick 194 on Cole Moberg. Moberg notched 13 goals and 40 points in 61 games with the Cats last year.
