Two Prince George Cougars have earned a spot on the WHL's Western Conference All-Star Team.
Goaltender Josh Ravensbergen and defenceman Viliam Kmec were selected by WHL general managers, recognizing their outstanding performances this season.
Ravensbergen delivered a stellar sophomore campaign, posting a 33-13-3-1 record with a 3.01 goals-against average and a .901 save percentage. His 33 wins ranked second among all WHL netminders. Earlier this season, the North Vancouver product was named the top-ranked North American draft-eligible goaltender by NHL Central Scouting. Over two WHL seasons, Ravensbergen has recorded 59 career wins, placing him fourth all-time in Cougars history. He also became the sixth-fastest goalie in WHL history to reach the 40-win milestone.
Kmec, meanwhile, had a career-best season, tallying 61 points (18G-43A) in 65 games. The Vegas Golden Knights prospect also boasted an impressive +43 plus/minus rating, ranking third among all WHL defencemen. In 241 career games — all with the Cougars — Kmec has accumulated 141 points (36G-105A) and a +87 plus/minus rating.
Ravensbergen, Kmec, and the Cougars return to action tonight for Game 3 of the Western Conference quarter-final against the Portland Winterhawks. The series is tied 1-1.
