PG Cougars:
The Prince George Cougars have cut forward Brendan Boyle. The 20-year-old Boyle had just three goals in three seasons with the team.
We have released 2001-born forward Brendan Boyle.
Brendan wore our jersey with pride for three seasons and over 130 career regular season games. He was a great teammate and ambassador in our community.
