Former Cougar blueliner headed to Sweden for next season

Former Prince George Cougars defenceman Austin Crossley has found a home for the 2020-2021 season.

The blueliner has signed a two-year deal with Kalix HC in Sweden’s Division 1 hockey league.

After being released by the Cougars early this past season, Crossley joined the Fargo Force of the USHL for the remainder of the 2019-2020 campaign where he registered 8 points in 39 games. He also added 155 penalty minutes.

Crossley’s best year with the Cougars came in 2018-2019 when the Fort St.John native racked up 3 goals and 6 assists in 66 games.
