PRINCE GEORGE — Phoenix Cahill has signed a WHL Scholarship & Development Agreement with the Prince George Cougars.
The 2008-born defenceman from Cottage Grove Minnesota was born in 2008 and was selected in the 2023 WHL U.S. Prospects Draft.
“Getting Phoenix signed is huge for our organization,” said Cougars’ Director of Player Personnel Bob Simmonds. “It shows we are making inroads into Minnesota which is a big hockey State. Phoenix is a physically strong defender who looks after his own end. He knows what he is as a player and he plays to his strengths. He will most certainly add to our depth on the back end. Two US drafts back, Phoenix messaged me introducing himself and expressing his interest in the WHL and this was before the NCAA changed their rules. To now have him signed is really cool.”
Last season, Cahill suited up with Cretin-Derham Hall of the Minnesota High School League (USHS-MN), where he recorded nine points in 24 games.
