The Prince George Cougars will be boarding a brand-new bus when they embark on road trips this Western Hockey League season.
As the team's transportation provider, Pacific Western Transportation is supplying a customized Prevost coach bus "equipped with the latest in safety and rider comfort" under a new partnership announced Wednesday.
"It's no secret that the Cougars have a very heavy travel schedule, and we are extremely happy to be able to provide our players and coaches with a brand new bus that has state of the art features, and ensures the countless hours they spend on the road are as safe and comfortable as possible," said Cougars' vice president for business Andy Beesley.
"With three-point safety belts on every seat, an excellent entertainment system, plenty of extra leg room, and many other features, we believe our players and coaches are going to have one of the best travel options in the WHL."
PWT vice president for transit, Greg Nichols, said the company is "extremely proud to partner with the Prince George Cougars as their bus transportation provider" and provide a coach bus equipped with the latest technology.
Ralph Posteraro will continue as the team's bus driver this season. It's a position he's held for nearly two decades.
