Latest News About Prince George Cougars Fan Penalty

Here’s the latest I can share based on recent reports.

• The Prince George Cougars were fined $1,500 after a playoff game where fans in attendance disrupted play by throwing objects onto the ice. This penalty was tied to inadequate security and crowd management during the game against the Penticton Vees [source: CBC and Yahoo News coverage from mid-April 2026].[1][3]

• In the same incident, the crowd’s actions led to a two-minute bench penalty against the Cougars for fan misconduct, and there were additional controversial calls during the game, including a five-minute penalty for a Cougars player that was later debated in video reviews.[3][5]
