Cougars Sign Marc McNulty

Prince George Cougars News Release


PRINCE GEORGE, B.C. - The Prince George Cougars are proud to announce the signing of defenceman Marc McNulty (Medicine Hat, AB) to a standard Western Hockey League contract.

McNulty, born in 1995, stands 6'5" and checks in at 181 pounds. Last season he played his Midget hockey with the Medicine Hat Tigers (Alberta Midget Hockey League).

"He might be the most improved player in our entire camp," said Prince George Cougars Assistant General Manager Wade Klippenstein. "Initially he was a 10th round draft-pick. If the Bantam Draft was held again tomorrow I guarantee you he wouldn't be a 10th round pick." Klippenstein adds, "We feel to have a successful team in this league, we need to build from the back moving forward."

McNulty joins a crowded crop of blue-liners currently signed with the team, and his play in the pre-season will largely determine his immediate future with the Cougars.

When he was drafted, McNulty was originally billed as a "shut-down guy" who made a strong first-pass. The management and scouting staff are pleased with the development of his offensive game.

McNulty will be dressing for the Prince George Cougars during their games in St. Albert this weekend.

Prince George Cougars Season Tickets are available by calling Ticketmaster at 250-564-5585.
