Prince George, B.C. — The Cariboo Cougars  have finalized their 20-player roster for the 2012-2013 season.

After a successful exhibition weekend in Chase and Penticton, the coaching staff made the difficult decisions needed to form the team that will hit the ice September 22nd to open the season against the Fraser Valley Thunderbirds.

On a very different looking team compared to last season, the Cougars only have six returning players (Michael Bell, Ryan Forbes, Tyler Povelofskie, Logan Styler, Kenny Nordstrom, and Nathan Warren), but several others who spent several games with the team in the past as an affiliate player.

Captains will be announced within the next couple weeks leading up to the start of the regular season.
