PRINCE GEORGE — The Prince George Cougars have signed American forward Jack Finnegan to a WHL Scholarship and Development Agreement.

The 17-year-old was added to the Cougars’ list last season and quickly became a player of interest for the club. The six-foot-three foward had 18 goals and 42 points in 37 games with the Sioux Falls Power 16U program last season.

“Jack is from Minnesota and we were fortunate to have been able to add him to our Protected List last season,” Cougars Director of Scouting Bob Simmonds said.

“He wanted to come to Prince George and play in the best development league around, and to have been able to sell Jack on our program speaks volumes as to where our organization is at these days.”

Known for his size and tenacity, Finnegan brings a competitive edge and physical presence to the Cougars’ forward group. He also holds an NCAA commitment to Miami University (Ohio).

“I expect Jack to become a fan favorite with his style of play,” added Simmonds. “He is big and strong, and he competes. He reminds me somewhat of Aiden Foster with his style of play.”

“We are thrilled to welcome Jack and his family to the Cougars and look forward to seeing them at training camp.”
