Cougars announce player signing

PRINCE GEORGE — The Prince George Cougars have signed 2006-born forward Riley Ashe.

The Cougars chose the 19-year-old in the third round, 56th overall, in the 2021 WHL Prospects Draft.

“Coming out of COVID, Riley is a player we drafted in the 2021 Prospects Draft for 2006-born players,” said Cougars Director of Scouting Bob Simmonds. “At that time, Riley was focused on school and elected to go the Junior A route.”

Over the past two seasons, Ashe has suited up for the Salmon Arm Silverbacks in the BCHL. In 2024-25, he tallied 27 points (13G-14A) and 59 penalty minutes while serving as an alternate captain. The previous season, he collected 23 points (6G-17A) in 54 games.
