The Prince George Cougars Hockey Club increased their scouting department by a few members ahead of the upcoming season.
The Cougars hired Leland Mack, Rob Rogers, Tim Mills, and David Reekie, along with familiar face Trevor Sprague.
“Scouting is the lifeblood of any organization in the Western Hockey League,” said Cougars’ Director of Scouting, Bob Simmonds.
“We’re excited to add experienced, well-respected scouts who will serve the best interests of the organization.”
Mack is the Cougars’ new Head Pacific Region Scout.
He is a highly regarded coach in B.C. and is the Head Coach of the Burnaby Winter Club’s Bantam Prep team in the Canadian Sport School Hockey League (CSSHL).
Rogers comes to the Cougars after several years as a B.C. scout for the Spokane Chiefs.
Mills will be the WHL club’s Okanagan Scout who was most recently with the Swift Current Broncos, since 2013.
Sprague rejoins the Cougars as their Northern B.C. and BC Major Midget League (BCMML) scout.
The final piece to the puzzle is Reekie, who is a former WHL goaltender with the Regina Pats and Everett Silvertips, and will be responsible for the Regina and Southern Saskatchewan area.
