PRINCE GEORGE – The Prince George Cougars have announced their 2021 Training Camp schedule.

Training Camp opens on the afternoon of Thursday, September 9^th and runs through to the evening of Monday, September 13^th, with the Cougars annual Intrasquad Game. The two teams compete for the Rob Charney Cup. Rob Charney was a Manitoba based scout for the Cougars who passed away from cancer in 2013.

Training Camp rosters will be comprised of returning players, prospects, and free-agent invites who will be grouped into three teams: (Tyler) Brough, (Brock) Hirsche and (Chase) Witala.

The five-day Training Camp will involve fitness testing, daily practices, off-ice workouts, and scrimmages. It will be the first Training Camp for the 2020 WHL Prospects Draft class that includes first-round selections Riley Heidt, Caden Brown and Ryker Singer.

“We’re excited to finally have the opportunity to bring our veterans and prospects together for our first Training Camp in two years,” said General Manager & Head Coach Mark Lamb. “We have a lot of young talent and I look forward to preparing our team for the new season.”
