The RBC Cup is coming to Prince George and it will be in the arms of a pair of Cariboo Cougars alumni players.

West Kelowna Warriors forwards Liam Blackburn, 19, and Jake LeBrun, 20, who both played for the major midget Cougars before they started their junior hockey careers, will be bringing the Cup to the Cariboo Cougars dressing room at the Kin Centre today at 5 p.m.

Blackburn and LeBrun, both Prince George minor hockey products, won the RBC Cup two weekends ago in Lloydminster, Sask., where the Warriors defeated the host Lloydminster Bobcats 4-0 on May 22 to win the national junior A championship.
