D Jordan Harris’s name no longer appears on the Prince George Cougars’ roster. So look for word sometime today that he has been assigned elsewhere. Harris was the 10th overall selection in the 2011 bantam draft. . . . Harris is from Prince Albert, so perhaps he’ll return for a second season with the midget AAA Mintos. He had 14 points and 48 penalty minutes in 43 games with the Mintos last season. . . . The Cougars are down to 26 players, including nine defencemen and two goaltenders.
