MESSAGE FROM
WHL COMMISSIONER Last year, during the Western Hockey League’s 50th season, we were privileged to reflect on our rich history and honour the many distinguished builders and alumni who have helped to make the WHL the finest junior hockey league in the world today. As we open the 2016-17 WHL season, the same ideals that fostered the growth our great League still serve as its foundation – a commitment to providing our players with a world class experience from both a hockey and education standpoint. The WHL and our 22 member Clubs take great pride in providing our players with the best possible environment in which to succeed both on and off the ice. On the ice, our high calibre of coaching and arena facilities continue to offer an ideal setting to grow and develop as a player. Off the ice, the WHL Scholarship remains the most comprehensive hockey scholarship in North America with a WHL record of over 350 graduates utilizing their WHL Scholarship at post-secondary institutions across the continent last year alone, representing an investment of over $2 million by WHL Club ownership.
Ron Robison Commissioner Western Hockey League
The WHL Scholarship is one of many commitments WHL Club ownership makes to ensure the success of our players. The WHL Players First support services program expanded last year with the addition of a League-wide WHL Security Network and Police Impact Program which engages local police officers in a liaison capacity with all of our teams to ensure our players are in a safe and respectful environment at all times. This year, the WHL has partnered with the Canadian Mental Health Association to launch the Talk Today program with all of our WHL member Clubs. Talk Today is a proven and important mental health initiative that will help our players and team staff identify and address mental health issues. The development opportunities the WHL provides on the ice and the assistance offered off the ice to our players through the WHL Scholarship and WHL Players First support services programs would not be possible without the support of our great fans as well as our corporate partners, broadcasters and media. The 2016-17 WHL season promises to be another highly entertaining campaign and we look forward to supporting our players and all of our WHL Clubs as they continue to set the standard for development both on and off the ice.

'WHL
The Western Hockey League started with just seven teams based in the provinces of Saskatchewan and Alberta in 1966. The WHL now has representation in all four Western Canadian provinces and the U.S. states of Oregon and Washington. The WHL now consists of 22 member Clubs with 17 based in Canadian markets and five in the U.S. Pacific Northwest. The WHL is a member of the Canadian Hockey League (CHL) whose membership is comprised of three major junior hockey leagues: the Ontario Hockey League (OHL), the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League (QMJHL) and the Western Hockey League (WHL). At the conclusion of each league's playoffs, the CHL hosts the MasterCard Memorial Cup, a national championship tournament involving each of the three league champions and the tournament host. The WHL is regarded as one of the finest development leagues in the world today. Each season the WHL is one of the top leagues from which players are selected from in the NHL Draft. Currently over 20% of all NHL players are graduates of the WHL. The WHL is also a leading provider of post-secondary scholarships with over 325 scholarships awarded each year to current and graduate WHL players, more than any other league in North America.
Welcome to Kent …and to the Western Conference Champion Seattle Thunderbirds 2016-2017 season as the T-Birds pursue a return to the WHL Championship! This season starts with an exciting celebration at the first home game of the season as the T-Birds will raise a U.S. Division Champions Banner and a Western Conference Champions Banner. Ethan Bear, Keegan Kolesar and Scott Eansor, leading scorers for the T-Birds last season, return this year as the T-Birds defend their Western Conference Championship. Also returning are Nolan Volcan, Donovan Neuls, Alexander True, Turner Ottenbreit and the hero of Game 4 of the Western Conference Championship, Matthew Wedman. Watch for new Finnish forward Sami Moilanen, who the T-Birds selected in the annual Import Draft, and center Elijah Brown, the 2015 first overall Bantam Draft pick, to do big things. Returning this year is the T-Birds’ popular 2-for-Tuesday promotion, where fans can enjoy 2-for-1 tickets along with $2 concession specials! The very popular Pub Nights, Turkey Shoot and Ham Shoot are always fun nights. If you’re a new visitor to ShoWare Center, you should know we are very proud of this 8 year-old state-ofthe-art arena. The 6,125 seats, 20 suites, and incredible Heritage Club seating section have unmatched hockey sightlines throughout. While you’re in town, grab a bite at Kent Station, a contemporary, open air urban village with a variety of options for pre and post-game gatherings, but don’t leave your car there during an event as they will be towed. Walk a couple blocks south of the Center to discover the charm of historic downtown Kent where even more entertainment and dining choices await you. Go Birds!

Friday, October 14, 2016 Prince George Cougars (8-2-0-0) at Seattle Thunderbirds (2-3-0-0) THE GREAT ‘8’: Prior to the start of this week, the Cougars started a season with an 8-0 record, marking the second longest winning streak in the history of the Prince George Cougars. After starting their season with four consecutive victories on the road (two against Victoria, one against Vancouver and one against Kelowna), the Cougars returned to Prince George on September 30th to begin a six game home stand. So far on their home stand the Cougars are 4-1 having twice defeated the Kelowna Rockets (Sept. 30 and Oct. 1) and Vancouver Giants (Oct. 7 and Oct. 8). Last Friday night Jesse Gabrielle (2G, 1A) paced the Cougars offense with three points as the Cougars downed the Giants 5-2, and then Saturday the Cougars twice trailed, but found a way to earn a 5-4 victory. Brad Morrison led the way with two goals. Earlier this week the Cougars dropped a pair of home ice decisions to the Everett Silvertips: 4-0 Tuesday and 6-3 Wednesday. Tonight the Cougars begin a two-game road trip against their 2016 playoff rivals, the Seattle Thunderbirds. THE RICHARD MATVICHUK ERA BEGINS: On June 2, 2016 Richard Matvichuk was named the 12th head coach in the history of the Prince George Cougars. The native of Fort Saskatchewan, AB spent the past two seasons as the Head Coach and Director of Hockey Operations for the Missouri Mavericks of the ECHL. In 2015-16 Matvichuk led the Mavericks to the Brabham Cup title as the ECHL’s regular season champions. Matvichuk was named both the ECHL Coach of the Year and the ECHL Executive of the Year. Matvichuk spent 14 seasons in the NHL. His impressive career included stints in Minnesota (1992-93), Dallas (1993-2004) and New Jersey (2005-2007). During the 1998-99 season, he played an integral part in helping the Dallas Stars win their first and only Stanley Cup. He’s 8-2 as a WHL coach. COUGARS-T-BIRDS: Tonight the Cougars rekindle their rivalry with the Seattle Thunderbirds. Last season the Cougars and T-Birds met in the first round of the WHL Playoffs with the T-Birds winning the series in four games. The regular season has been a different story as the Cougars are 11-7-1-1 against Seattle over the past five seasons and are 8-2 against them at ShoWare Center in that span. Last season in four games the Cougars went 2-2 against Seattle. Tate Olson (1G, 4A) led all Cougars with five points in four games. Kody McDonald and Jesse Gabrielle each had three goals. LEADING THE PACK: Through 10 games 19-year-old forward Brad Morrison (4G, 8A) leads the team in scoring with 12 points and assists (8). 19-Year-old forward Jared Bethune leads the team in goals (5) and plus-minus (+8). 20-year-old forward Colby McAuley leads the team in penalty minutes with 22. McAuley is also tied for the team lead in multi-point games with Kody McDonald, Brad Morrison and Jared Bethune. Tate Olson (1G, 4A) leads all Cougars defenceman with five points. Ty Edmonds leads the way in goal with a 5-1 record, a 2.00 goals-against-average and a .925 save percentage. The Prince George Cougars penalty kill is second in the league with a 91.8 percent success rate (45/49). EIGHT COUGARS ATTEND NHL CAMPS: For the first time since the 2000-2001 season the Cougars sent eight players to NHL Camps. Jansen Harkins attended his second NHL Camp with the Winnipeg Jets and was returned to the team earlier this week. Harkins was drafted by the Jets in the second round of the 2015 NHL Draft. Jesse Gabrielle was drafted by the Boston Bruins in Round 4 of the 2015 Draft and also returned to the Cougars earlier this week. Defenceman Sam Ruopp, a fifth round pick of the Columbus Blue Jackets in 2015 returned in time for last weekend. Fellow defenceman Tate Olson is back with the team after he attended his second ever NHL camp with the Vancouver Canucks. He was selected by them in the seventh round of the 2015 NHL Draft. In Colorado, Josh Anderson (drafted Round 3, 2016) and Brogan O’Brien (a free agent invite) attended the Avs main camp and are back. Brad Morrison (Drafted by the New York Rangers in Round 4, 2016) and Kody McDonald (New York Islanders, free agent invite) have also returned to the team.

Friday, October 14, 2016 – Game Notes Continued… ROSTER BREAKDOWN: Currently the Cougars roster sits at 25 players: 16 forwards, seven defenceman and two goaltenders.

He has spent the past two seasons with the Winnipeg Thrashers (MMHL). Last season in 37 games he scored eight goals, added 10 assists and 136 penalty minutes. The previous season he had five goals and five assists along with 40 penalty minutes in 39 games. In 2013-14, Kochanski won a Winnipeg City Midget League championship with the Winnipeg Sharks. Reid Perepeluk: (F – 2000, Yorkton, SK): Originally selected by the Cougars in the sixth round (114th overall) of the 2015 WHL Bantam Draft, Perepeluk is fresh off his second Training Camp as a member of the Prince George Cougars. The 6’0”, 210 pounder spent the 2015-16 season with the Cariboo Cougars of the BC Major Midget League and scored six goals, 10 assists and 60 penalty minutes in 29 regular season games, and added three more goals in seven playoff games.

EDMONDS CHASING HISTORY: With a victory on January 23rd against the Kamloops Blazers Cougars veteran goaltender Ty Edmonds (Winnipeg, MB) earned his 65th career WHL victory. That 65th victory moved Ty Edmonds into sole possession of second place on the list for all-time victories by a Prince George Cougars goaltender which had previous been held by Billy Thompson (1999 – 2003 and 64 wins). With 74 career wins, Edmonds is just 22 victories shy of surpassing Scott Myers (1996-2000 and 95 wins) for the all-time lead in wins and 424 saves away from the all-time lead. UP NEXT: Following tonight’s game in Seattle the Cougars will hop back on the bus and head to Kennewick, WA to face the Tri-City Americans. After Saturday’s game, the Cougars will return home to face the Swift Current Broncos on Tuesday, October 18th and the Saskatoon Blades on Saturday, October 22nd.
