Prince George, BC – The Prince George Cougars announced Sunday the acquisition of 20-year old defenceman Sena Acolatse from the Saskatoon Blades. In return, the Blades get a third round pick in the 2011 WHL Bantam Draft.

Acolatse, a 5’11”, 207 pound product of Edmonton, Alberta, was acquired by the Blades during the 2009-10 season, after starting his fourth campaign with the Seattle Thunderbirds. Acolatse collected 16 goals and 19 assists for 35 points last season. In 256 career regular season games in the WHL since 2006, Acolatse has collected a total of 30 goals and 61 assists for 91 points, while adding 373 penalty minutes.

Acolatse will join the Cougars Monday and will be in the line-up when the Cougars face the Kootenay Ice Wednesday night in Cranbrook.

No Matter who they get or trade for nothing will help, no matter how many coaches they go through nothing will help. My opinion on this is if any team struggles for a long period of time like the cougars if its another WHL, CHL, AHL, or even the NHL if a team struggles the first guy they go after is the coach and we've been through enough and still no improvement again if its any other team the next step is management and thats dallas thompson i'm sorry the guy can't do it he is the worst GM out there but we can never get rid of him because hes married to the bosses daughter and well i think mr brodski needs to make a serious decision if he wants his team to seceed and the fan base to come back and thats fire the weak link thompson family or not make that call see what happens. Try putting a bid to host the memorial cup we have the canada games in 2015 lets go for the memorial cup too that would be one hell of a story worst team in CHL wins the memorial cup ok i may be dreaming but a person can dream. I hope the boys like chara, brewer and the rest of the gang put another off on the table to buy the team from brodski cause we can see he can't do his job not in victoria and not here to him family comes first but when owning a WHL team the team should come first and fire your son in-law he can't do a dam thing.
