Prince George Cougars say goodbye to their 20s
PRINCE GEORGE — The hardest part about a season-ending is the goodbyes. The Prince George Cougars had three 20-year-old players play their final game in the Western Hockey League.
Zac Funk was first acquired at last year’s trade deadline. He led them in playoff points in his first season with the team. The next year he took the jump and exploded. The Coldstream BC product set a franchise record for goals in a season with 67. He finished 2nd in WHL Scoring with 123 points. He recorded eight hat-tricks in the regular season and one in the playoffs to help advance Prince George to the Western Conference Finals. Now the forward is off to the Washington Capitals organization where he’ll hope to continue to break records in the NHL.
