PRINCE GEORGE — The Prince George Cougars have signed forward Dmitri Yakutsenak.
The 2007-born player was selected 49th overall in this year’s WHL import draft. He spent last season with the Loko Yaroslavl program where he had 17 points in 39 games.
“Dmitri is a strong-skating forward with excellent puck skills and sharp offensive instincts,” said Director of Player Personnel Bob Simmonds. “He’s confident with the puck on his stick and we expect him to be a great fit with our forward group, bringing an added offensive spark to the club.”
Yakutsenak is expected to arrive in Prince George ahead of training camp, which opens at the end of August at CN Centre, as the Cougars prepare for the 2025-26 WHL season.
