Prince George, BC - The Prince George Cougars stay in Wild Rose country in the fourth round of the WHL Bantam Draft.

With the 69th overall selection, the Cougars picked right winger Peter Quenneville, who played this past season for the Maple Leaf Athletic Club in Edmonton of the Alberta Major Bantam Hockey League. Quenneville is 5'11" tall and weighs 160 pounds and finished 13th overall in point production in the AMBHL this past season, with 24 goals and 23 assists in 32 games. Quenneville also had 40 penalty minutes.

"Peter is a really solid two way player with offensive upside." Says Cougars Edmonton area scout Bob Simmonds. "He's a great kid, as well, and his family became very aware of the Cougars because we had one of the best 16-year olds in the country with Brett Connolly this past season. Peter is a player that we feel can help with secondary scoring. He's capable of playing multiple roles, very strong defensively, but can be an offensive threat for us, as well."

Each of the Cougars first four picks of the bantam draft have been players from Alberta.
