Cats restock their talent pool in WHL Prospects Draft

The Prince George Cougars went back to the prairie fields of Saskatchewan to select their first-round pick on Thursday’s WHL Prospects Draft.

He averaged three points per game to led the Saskatchewan U-15 double-A Hockey League in playoff scoring with 10 goals and 23 assists for 33 points in 11 games. That came after a 53-goal, 103-point regular season of 27 games.Cougars director of scouting, Bob Simmonds, said Wotherspoon’s goal-scoring ability put him on the team’s radar and his playoff showing convinced the Cougars he was too talented to keep them off their first-round list.

Wotherspoon will be limited to playing just five games next season for the Cougars until he’s finished with his U18 team, but if he keeps improving the way he has Simmonds predicts he will soon be a regular in the Prince Geroge lineup.
