It seems that P.G. no longer has a taste for quality hockey

I am so embarrassed with the local support of the Prince George Cougars. The support in the initial years filled the new arena and the team returned the support with great hockey.

I was proud of the turnout, where we watched the likes of Chara, Hunter, Petrovicky, Hamhuis, etc.

Most of the games were close to full house, if not sold out.

I moved away from Prince George a few years ago and started following the Cougars this year as my grandson had the opportunity to play for them.

Most of the games followed were by radio, and I enjoyed them.

For the first time, I was able to watch the recent game versus Medicine Hat and was shocked with the empty seats.

Yes empty seats.

I was embarrassed, to say the least.

My message to the owners of the Cougars: Move the team to a city that would appreciate this quality of hockey.

Obviously Prince George no longer has fans for hockey.

So sorry, but what a loss.
