The Prince George Cougars have come to terms with a first-round pick for the second time this week.
The Cougars signed 15-year-old goaltender Tyler Brennan of Winnipeg to a WHL Standard Player Agreement.
Brennan was selected by Prince George in the first round, 21st overall in this year’s WHL Bantam Draft in May.
This follows the Cougars signing of forward and fellow first-round selection Craig Armstrong (ninth overall) on Monday.
“We’re thrilled to add a goaltender of Brennan’s size and ability to our organization,” said General Manager Mark Lamb, in a team news release.
“He’s got the tools to be a very good goalie at this level.”
Brennan played last season at the Rink Hockey Academy (RHA) in the Canadian Sport School Hockey League (CSSHL).
He went 11-3-1 in the Bantam Prep Division, with a league-leading goals-against-average (1.53), save-percentage (.947) and shutouts (five).
