It’s time to stand up to the bad guys!
That’s according to the Prince George Cougars, who’ve decided to go on with its Las Vegas-themed night this Saturday despite the recent mass shooting.
Vice-President of Business Operations Andy Beesley says the team is wanting to show support for WHL American players, as well as making a statement.
“After discussing and debating it internally, we decided the very best thing we can do to support our American neighbors, our friends, and our teammates from the States is to not let the bad guys win, and to celebrate Las Vegas. That’s really what we’re intending on doing.”
He adds the Cats have added plans to recognize those who lost loved ones.
“We’re also going to be suggesting that people might want to make donations not just to the American Red Cross Society, but also did local Red Cross Societies who often deal with emergencies of all types. It really is a night to talk about how we can support each other practically as well as figuratively.”
The Cougars are scheduled to face the Kelowna Rockets, with 7PM puck-drops for both Friday and Saturday.
