The WHL unveiled its exhibition schedule today (Monday) with the Cougars playing four games ahead of the 2026-27 regular season.

PG begins the journey September 4th (7pm) and 6th (12pm) in Tumbler Ridge against the Edmonton Oil Kings.

From there, the Cougars will once again lock horns with the Kamloops Blazers for a weekend double header starting in Quesnel on September 12th at 5pm from the West Fraser Centre.

The pre-season concludes the next night (September 13th) in Kamloops at 5pm from Sandman Centre.
