Cougars sign pair of picks to WHL deals

The Prince George Cougars inked their 2025 First and Second Round selections to a WHL Scholarship and Development Agreement.

The Cougars announced today (Tuesday) forward Cohen Baker and defenceman Anderson Reschny signed on the dotted line with the club.

“Cohen Baker competes as hard as anyone in this draft class,” said Director of Scouting Bob Simmonds.

“He’s a powerful skater with game-breaking ability. Simply put, he makes things happen.”

The product of Kamloops tallied 64 points in 33 games with the Burnaby Winter Club U15 Prep team this past season, good enough for eighth in league scoring.

Baker was the 17th overall selection in the 2025 WHL Prospects Draft, while Reschny was the team’s second-round, 40th overall pick.

“Anderson is a very smart player,” Simmonds said.

“His ability to read the game and consistently make the right play is exceptional.”

A product of Macklin, Saskatchewan, Reschny tallied 38 points (9G, 29A) in 36 games with the OHA Edmonton U15 Prep team.

He is also committed to the Saskatoon Blazers U18 program for next season.
