The Prince George Cougars might want to show up an hour earlier than normal the next time they line up against the Victoria Royals.
Another slow start for the Cats proved costly on Saturday as they fell 2-1 in Kelowna to the BC Division’s last place team for a third time this season.
Cougars Head Coach and General Manager Mark Lamb didn’t mince words on the lackadaisical effort.
“We played the same way as we practiced yesterday (Friday). It has a lot to do with the mindset, digging in and playing real hard. We probably got a little too happy with the way we have been playing as of late.”

Flying under the radar in this Island defensive horn of plenty has been Sean Strange of Saanich, who has carved out a steady four-season junior career with the Kamloops Blazers of the WHL. That is despite going only in the 10th round, 202nd overall, in the 2015 bantam draft as Kamloops’ final pick. “People didn’t have too high expectations of me but I worked hard each season, and also during summers back home on the Island, and I’m proud of my career,” said the graduate of the Saanich Minor Hockey Association and South Island Royals midget team. Director Stanley Kubrick had Dr. Strangelove. The Blazers have had a Strange love, too.
