The Prince George Cougars have added another young forward to the den.
Today (Wednesday), the WHL club signed Ethan Hamilton to a WHL Scholarship and Development Agreement.
The 16-year-old was selected in the fifth round, 103rd overall by the Cougars in the 2023 WHL Prospect’s Draft.
The Lanigan, Saskatchewan product spent the 2023-24 season with the Saskatoon Blazers U18 program where he collected 19 points (7-12-19) in 40 games played. In the post-season,
Hamilton contributed three points (2-1-3) in 10 games.
“Ethan came prepared to training camp to try and make our team,” said Director of Scouting Bob Simmonds.
“His performance at camp was very strong. His skating was strong, and he really spent a lot of time training this summer and it showed at camp. He earned this
agreement, and we are happy to add him into the fold.”
The Cougars begin pre-season action Saturday and Sunday against the Edmonton Oil Kings in Edson, Alberta.
