Prince George, BC - The Prince George Cougars have signed defenceman and Smithers, BC product Ryan Richter ('08) to a WHL Scholarship and Development Agreement.

Richter played the 2023-24 season with the Burnaby Winter Club U18 program of the Canadian Sport School Hockey League (CSSHL) where he owned 23 points (3-20-23) in 31 games.

"I saw Ryan and his grandfather in the concourse at the beginning of camp and they said he's here to make the team, and that he wanted to be a Prince George Cougar," said Director of Scouting Bob Simmonds. "His skating was exceptionally strong, and he played a physical game as well. It's a really nice story for a northern BC kid who grew up watching the Cougars. It's a great thing to see and he earned it," added Simmonds.

The Cougars would like to congratulate Ryan and his family on achieving this milestone!
