Spokane, Wash. - The Spokane Chiefs are proud to announce that forward prospect Cohen "Coco" Armstrong has signed a WHL Scholarship and Development Agreement. Armstrong, born in 2006, was selected in the seventh round of the 2021 WHL Prospects Draft.

"Cohen came to camp with the focus of not only signing a WHL Scholarship and Development Agreement, but to earn a spot on the team and he did just that," Chiefs General Manager Matt Bardsley said. "His skillset along with the ability to play the game we want in a player was on display and he will be a very nice addition to our team. We would like to welcome Cohen and his family to the Spokane Chiefs organization."

Armstrong, a 5-foot-11 winger from West Vancouver, British Columbia, played 50 games for the Coquitlam Express of the BCHL during the 2022-23 season, where he tallied 27 points on 11 goals and 16 assists. Prior to that in 2021-22, he piled up 35 points (21G-14A) over 23 games with the Shawnigan Lake School U17 Prep squad.

"I am beyond excited to be joining the Spokane Chiefs," Armstrong said. "It's a promising young team filled with talent that I'm thrilled to be a part of. I am looking forward to making an impact this season and beyond."

Armstrong is eligible to join the Chiefs as a full-time player for the 2023-24 season and is currently on the roster as the club heads into its exhibition slate.
