Cougars add to their depth by signing an American

Forward Mitch Kohner is part of the Prince George Cougars after signing a WHL Standard Player Agreement.

The 16-year-old Kohner, who is from Rosemount, Minnesota was selected by the Cougars in the 10th round of the 2017 WHL Bantam Draft.

“Mitch plays a WHL style of game which is impressive for his age,” said Cougars General Manager Mark Lamb in a team news release.

“He skates well, he’s physical and has the potential to be a very good player at this level.”

The 5’11, 193-pound Kohner played the last two years with the Lakeville North High School Panthers in Minnesota where he notched nine goals and three assists in 49 career games.

The Cougars host the Kamloops Blazers Saturday in their final pre-season game.
