Prince George Cougars News Release


PRINCE GEORGE, BC - CN teams up with the Prince George Cougars for the seventh year to manage a community ticket initiative that offers free hockey tickets to people who work or volunteer for local charities and community organizations.

"Thanks to CN we were able to distribute over 400 free tickets to those who positively impacted our community last season," said Cougars Vice President, Brandi Brodsky. "Since its inception the program has benefited nearly 60 organizations, and with CN's help, we look forward to increasing that number this season."

Richard Miller, CN's general manager, Mountain Region, said, "The CN Community Ticket Program is a great way for us to say thanks to the many people who work so hard to make Prince George a better place to live and work. The Cougars are well connected with their community and have plenty of great ideas about deserving ticket recipients. Typically, these include volunteer firefighters, emergency-measures organizations, and volunteers and employees who put in long hours with charitable organizations to improve the quality of life in their community.

CN launched the Canada-wide CN Community Ticket Program in 2003 and 15 junior hockey teams are involved, from the Prince George Cougars to the Moncton Wildcats in New Brunswick.

To acquire tickets through the CN Community Ticket Program, the public is encouraged to contact Amy Erickson at 250-561-0783 or via email at amye@pgcougars.com.
