City and Cougars sign new four-year agreement
PRINCE GEORGE — The City of Prince George and the Prince George Cougars have announced the signing of a new four-year license agreement for the CN Centre.
The previous agreement between the City and EDGEPRO Sports and Entertainment Ltd. (the owners of the Cougars) expired on July 31, 2024, and the new agreement extends through 2028, with an option to extend for an additional four years.
Under the agreement, the City will receive an annual flat fee for ticket sales and commissions on additional ticket sales, food, and beverage revenue. The City will also receive a 50 per cent split with the Cougars on private suite rental fees at the CN Centre.
“The Prince George Cougars are deeply woven into the fabric of the CN Centre, Prince George, and Northern British Columbia,” says Glen Mikkelsen, CN Centre Manager. “We are fortunate to have such a special group of people owning, managing, and operating the Club. Not every community or venue is as lucky to have a team that values partnership. We look forward to the excitement and energy that the Cougars and their talented players will continue to bring to our community.”
