PRINCE GEORGE — Prince George Cougars defenceman Bauer Dumanski has been named the 31st captain in team history.

This is Dumanski’s fifth season with the club and he calls it “an honour.”

“I have had some great captains and leaders before me like Hudson Thornton, Riley Heidt, and Ethan Samson. It means a lot to me to follow after them.”

Dumanski will make his captaincy debut Friday night when the Cougars face the Spokane Chiefs at 7:05 p.m. in Spokane. Fans can watch the game for free on Victory+.

Dumanski enters the contest with 251 career games played, ranking 9th all-time in Cougars history among defencemen. Over that span, he has recorded 78 points (15-63-78), 102 penalty minutes, and an impressive plus/minus of +47 — the second-best mark in team history.
