"We are very familiar with Luke and the style of game he plays and he's going to be a welcomed addition to our lineup and our dressing room," said Cougars General Manager, Todd Harkins. "He brings experience, leadership, size and speed to our forward corps and we're excited to get him to Prince George so that he can help contribute to our team's success."
