There's only so much icetime to go around on a junior hockey team and 18-year-old forward Max Kryski wasn't getting a lot of it in his second season with the Prince George Cougars.
Instead of taking up a seat in the pressbox at CN Centre, the Cougars have sent Kryski to the Trail Smoke Eaters of the B.C. Hockey League.
In four games this season the five-foot-11, 184-pound native of Kelowna was held without a point. Kryski collected eight goals and 10 points in 62 games last season with 24 penalty minutes and had a minus-24 rating.
The move leaves the Cougars roster at 23 players - 13 forwards, eight defencemen and two goalies.
The Cats host the defending WHL-champion Swift Current Broncos this Sunday at CN Centre. The game starts at 2 p.m. Local sports teams are being invited to come to the rink in their team jerseys on Minor Sports Day and the Cougars will pay $500 to the team that buys the most tickets for the game.
