Prince George, B.C.- The Prince George Cougars  have added  20-year old forward Taylor Stefishen to the roster.

Stefishen was a sixth round pick of the Cougars in the 2005 Western Hockey League Bantam draft, selected 112th overall.  The 6’0”, 185 pound product of North Vancouver, BC, joins the Cougars after playing two seasons of NCAA Division I hockey with the Ohio State Buckeyes of the Central Collegiate Hockey Association.  In 40 games at Ohio State, Stefishen collected eight goals and 13 assists for 21 points and had 14 penalty minutes.  Stefishen was selected by the Nashville Predators in the fifth round of the 2008 NHL Entry Draft, 136th overall.

“Adding Taylor to the roster gives us experience and depth to our forward group,” said Cougars General Manager Dallas Thompson.  “We feel Taylor can make an impact for our team and we look forward to seeing Taylor in a Cougars uniform.”

Stefishen will join the Cougars in Cranbrook when the Cougars face-off with the Kootenay Ice Wednesday night.

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.

Totally agree.

I want more than anything for PG to have a successful franchise, but the management and/or ownership needs to change.

Everything else has been tried, but the day Thompson was hired was "the day the music died"
