The Prince George Cougars have signed their third selection, 69th overall (fourth round) in the 2008 WHL Bantam Draft, defenceman Shane Pilling from Lethbridge, Alberta.
The 15-year old Pilling is 5’8”and 145 pounds. He spent the 2007-2008 season with the Lethbridge Val Matteotti Golden Hawks of the AMBHL.
Pilling posted six goals and 14 assists for 20 points in 33 games for the Golden Hawks. He also added six points in five playoff games.
Prince George Cougars general manager Dallas Thompson says: “Pilling is a great skating defenceman who may have been one of the most mobile defenceman available in the 2008 Draft. Shane will be a great addition to the Cougars and a big part of our success down the road.”
Pilling will play midget hockey in Alberta during the 2008-2009 season.
