PRINCE GEORGE — The Prince George Cougars have signed their first round pick from this year’s draft.

Kamloops native Cohen Baker was chosen 17th overall following a stellar season with the Burnaby Winter Club U15 Prep team, where he tallied 64 points (34G-30A) in 33 games, along with 80 penalty minutes.

Baker finished 8th in league scoring and was tied for third in goals. The Cougars call Baker a powerful skater with game breaking ability.

“We’re excited to welcome Cohen and his family to the Cougars organization,” said the Cougars in a statement.

The Cougars also announced the signing of second round 2025 pick Anderson Reschny, a defenceman.
