Once again, they passed with flying colours.
Coming off a dismal defeat at the hands of the Kamloops Blazers (a 5-0 loss on Wednesday), the Cats righted the ship and pounced to a 5-2 victory over the Victoria Royals on Friday in Kelowna.
“I liked everything about the effort. We had a couple guys jump back into the lineup, MacAdams played very well, he hasn’t played in a while and all four lines had spots in the game where they were really good. It’s a complete team effort and whether we score first or not it’s a good win,” said Mark Lamb, Cougars Head Coach and GM.

The bigger they are, the harder they fall.
Led by a four-point effort from Jonny Hooker, the Prince George Cougars made a statement against the Vancouver Giants on Saturday, dispatching them 6-3 from the Sandman Centre in Kamloops.
