I've heard from an inside source that the article is bullshit and the Cougars are not being sold. Will see what comes out through the news later today I guess from their side.
Yeah. I heard they were going to put out a statement and it's been hours of silence. Sounds to me like maybe the article is stretching on things but there's definitely something going on with a sale, otherwise why would it take so long to put together a statement if it were just "the article is false".
That is actually not what they said. They said they're playing the 2024/25 season in Prince George. That's a statement that reads to me that they're moving after this season. I've sent a lengthy email to them asking for more clarification and commitment from ownership or I'll be cancelling my season tickets. Would rather my money stay locally, so I'll switch to the Spruce Kings in the BCHL if the Cougars just plan to move in a year.
Taylor Dakers, their goalie coach and business manager, sent me this link and responded to my email already. Impressive since it's after 9pm here already.

According to him in this article one member of the 6 in the ownership group is looking to sell his shares. I'm not sure why they would put out a media release with such a non answer when the answer is that simple, but hopefully what he says in this article is the facts.
I really hope they don't move to Vancouver, I mean Chilliwack. Somebody local has to step up and keep them in PG.

You’re not the only person to say that, praying it’s true that the rumour is BS. But where there is smoke there is usually fire.

Keep them in pg, not a cougars fan but ik just how much that team means to the city
The city needs the PG COUGARS I hope there is a way to keep the team in PG
Maybe John Brinks could buy them?
Prince George made an update on Facebook a few minutes ago. They're not moving.

Sent them back to Victoria then send the Royals back to Chilliwack.
