Prince George, B.C. – The Prince George Cougars not only unveiled a new logo  this morning, the WHL team also announced it has  entered into an agreement to sponsor a race car.It is a two-year sponsorship agreement with the Prince George Auto Racing Association’s 2014 Streetstock points champion, Jerry Gascon. Part of the sponsorship agreement includes a new Prince George Cougars logo decal for his car.

“Whether it’s sponsoring the Prince George Symphony Orchestra’s ‘Pops in the Park’ or a local race car driver, we are always looking for unique ways to support our community” said  Cougars President Greg Pocock.  He says sponsoring  Jerry gascon  “was a really cool opportunity for us to showcase our new logo and our community pride in a unique and exciting fashion.”

“It’s important to align ourselves with winners” says Pocock “and we wish Jerry Gascon and his team well as he takes to the track in defense of his PGARA championship.”

Mr.Pocock and his ownership group have been more involved in this community over the past year more than Mr Brodsky was for his entire tenure as owner. What a breath of fresh air. I wish Mr.Pocock and the Cougars nothing but good luck going forward. They deserve the rewards for the investments they are making in our community

And the investment that Greg Pocock is making in his bank account.
Cheers

Retired 02, I’m a bit confused as to whether or not your comment was meant in a sarcastic or negative way.

Are you suggesting that Greg Pocock deserves any reward to his bank account by virtue of his ownership of the team, or are you implying that a return on his investment would be a bad thing?

Perhaps you can tell us how much profit, if any that the Cougars made during the last season? I would think that you as a resident of Abbotsford, would be far more concerned about the profitability of your own former team, the Abbotsford Heat.

Your so smart hart guy figure it out.
Cheers

Retired 02, your earlier comment immediately caused me to think that you might be being a bit of a jerk, but I wanted to give you the benefit of the doubt!

Thanks for clearing up whether or not you were being a bit of a jerk!

The TROLL strikes again…why bother feeding it?

‘And the investment that Greg Pocock is making in his bank account’ – Any reasonable person, with an ounce time spent in a mathematics class, knows that this team isn’t making money, not even close, not for years. But why would we expect a bitter old retiree, that fled PG with his tale between his legs, to understand economics?

Your so smart hart guy figure it out.”
Sounds just like my pre teen daughters when they argue.
PG 101 you’re mistaken if you think Retired02 has a chance in hell of understNding Economics.
retired 02 it’s “you’re ” not “your”.
Now I’m done lowering myself to the level of a retired 5 year old.

uh oh…..someone didn’t proof read

My first thought was “Calgary Flames”.

I like logo changes every now and again, keeps the brand fresh. After all the positive changes made to the team this year I might just have to become a season ticket holder again.

DOH!!!

“After all the positive changes made to the team this year I might just have to become a season ticket holder again.”

Next on tonight’s show, an Archeologist shows us a chunk of frozen hell, and later, the second coming of Christ will perform.

Love the community support Cougars. I’ll show up for every game I can this season in return. Cheers.
