PRINCE GEORGE – For the first time since 2014, the Prince George Cougars went before City Council. The aim was to give Mayor and Council an update on their status as a club amid COVID and its plans once the pandemic has run its course.
As part of that presentation, the Vice President of Business for the Cougars, Andy Beesley, pointed to a recent report don recently by the Canadian Hockey League, looking at the economic impacts of the different clubs on Canadian communities.
“We contribute a significant amount of money to the Canadian economy and, locally here, somewhere in the range of between two and four and a half million dollars per season.” Just bringing out-of-town clubs to the city generates between $500,000 and a million dollars per season.
