A sure sign that fall is coming to the Northern Capital.
This week marks the return of Junior Hockey in Prince George, as both the Cougars and Spruce Kings kick off their training camps for the upcoming season.
The Cougars’ camp starts tomorrow (Wednesday) at the CN Centre, but there will be no on-ice events until Thursday.
Highlights of the Cougars camp include the prospects showcase, which pits Teams Pogge and Souray against each other on Thursday at 6:00 pm.
The two rosters will feature listed prospects and free agent invites for players between the ages of 15 and 17.
The camp will conclude with the annual Rob Charney Cup Intra-squad game on Sunday at 6:00.
