The Prince George Cougars are a Canadian major junior ice hockey team currently members of the B.C. Division of the Western Conference in the Western Hockey League. The team is based in Prince George, British Columbia, and plays its home games at the CN Centre, formally known as the Prince George Multiplex. The Cougars were founded in 1971 as the Victoria Cougars, but later moved to Prince George in 1994. On March 19, 2014, after months of rumours, a team of local investors led by Greg Pocock, along with NHLers Dan Hamhuis and Eric Brewer, agreed in principle to purchase the Prince George Cougars. The deal was approved by the WHL Board of Governors on April 30 the same year.

Seattle's sports history began at the start of the 20th century with the Pacific Coast Hockey Association's Seattle Metropolitans, which in 1917 became the first American hockey team to win the Stanley Cup. Seattle's sports history continues today with the city's six major professional teams: the National Football League's Seattle Seahawks, Major League Baseball's Seattle Mariners, Major League Soccer's Seattle Sounders FC, the Women's National Basketball Association's Seattle Storm, the National Women's Soccer League's Reign FC, and the future National Hockey League Seattle NHL team. Seattle also boasts a strong history in collegiate sports, with two National Collegiate Athletic Association Division I schools: the University of Washington and Seattle University, and one NCAA Division II school, Seattle Pacific University.
