Keaton Dowhaniuk is only 15 games into his Western Hockey League career for the Prince George Cougars but already has the look of a star blueliner.
The 16-year-old was oozing with confidence on Wednesday during a 5-1 win over the Kamloops Blazers at Sandman Centre collecting a goal and three assists.
“Pucks were bouncing my way all game, that helps and I was feeling good and fresh out there. I have definitely felt comfortable since the first game, I know that is a big part of my game and I have kind of been feeling it all year.”

In a game filled with hits, fights, saves and some timely offense, it was a defensive lapse that was the difference for the Prince George Cougars.
An errant clearing attempt by Ethan Samson inside the Cougar blueline led to a breakaway goal by Adam Hall at 11:30 of the third period to ensure a 2-1 victory for the Vancouver Giants on Monday from the Sandman Centre in Kamloops.
Head Coach and General Manager Mark Lamb told
MyPGNow.com the costly mistake spoiled what was a playoff-like effort.
“We gave two points away right at the end. We didn’t stick with it and we turned the puck over, that’s the disappointing part because we did so many good things and then gave it away.”
