Jun 7, 2024 | 5:50 AM

PRINCE GEORGE – The Prince George Cougars have announced a player’s signing.

Forward Ollie Reid of Coldstream has been signed to a WHL Scholarship and Development Agreement.

Reid was the Cougars 88th selection in this year’s draft and spent last season with the Yale U15 Prep Team where he had 52 points in just 27 games (22 goals and 30 assists).

“To have Ollie commit to the Cougars is huge,” said Cougars’ Director of Scouting Bob Simmonds.

“Having commitment from our first three draft picks in the 09 group really bodes well for the future. Ollie is a very skilled player. His ability to play in small ice situations is exceptional. His puck management is a strong part of his game and he has great hands and habits. Ollie is a very smart player who thinks the game at a high level. We are thrilled to welcome Ollie and his family to the Cougars family.”
