Prince George Cougars players will be showcased in the television debut of the feature show The Rookies, which will air on Rogers Sportsnet East at 5:30 p.m. PT Saturday. The show will air for the first time on Rogers Sportsnet Pacific time on Saturday at 2 p.m.
The Rookies, produced by Rat Films and airing on Rogers Sportsnet nationally, follows the progress of six Cougars rookies looking to make the opening night line-up of the Prince George Cougars for the 2009-10 season.
Some of the players that are followed through the training camp process include current Cougars defencemen Jesse Forsberg and Daniel Gibb and forward Brock Hirsche.
"It was really exciting for all of us in the Cougars organization to have The Rookies production crew follow our young players at training camp," said Cougars vice president Brandi Brodsky. "We have already had a sneak peek at part of the show and it looks terrific. We hope Cougars fans will enjoy this all access look at the club from the moment the players arrive at camp.
