Cougars complete trade with Lethbridge

Dec 27, 2023 | 9:29 AM

PRINCE GEORGE — The Prince George Cougars have announced a trade.

They’ve acquired defenceman Chase Pauls (3) from the Lethbridge Hurricanes in exchange for a 2024 third-round pick in the WHL Prospect’s Draft.

Pauls, 20, has nine points in 30 games (2-7-9) with Lethbridge this season.

Hailing from Osler, SK, the right-handed blue-liner who stands at 6’5” has had a robust WHL career, suiting up in 190 games and accumulating 55 points (18-37-55) over four seasons.

“Pauls is a big veteran defensive defenceman that will fit in our group very well,” commented GM & Head Coach Mark Lamb. “He is a top penalty killer, defends hard, and makes a good first pass.”
