Mark Lamb named Cougars head coach

PRINCE GEORGE — Mark Lamb was introduced as the Prince George Cougars thirteenth head coach in franchise history today (July 4).

Lamb, who is the team’s general manager, took over as interim head coach late last season after the firing of previous coach, Richard Matvichuk.

“There were several qualified candidates who expressed interest in the position,” says John Pateman, President, EDGEPRo Sports & Entertainment. “At the end of the day, when looking at Mark’s experience, reputation and vision for this team, as well as positive feedback from players and agents, we knew he was the best fit going forward.”

Lamb has an extensive resume in hockey, including a Stanley Cup, and spans over 30 years as as player and a coach.
