The 18-year-old center dressed in three preseason games for Buffalo this year and will look to have another promising season in Lethbridge.

In his second full season with Lethbridge, Cozens also ranked in the top 10 among WHL skaters in even-strength assists (10th with 34) and even-strength points (T-8th with 59). He added eight points (4+4) in seven playoff contests.
Cozens has recorded 138 points (57+81) and a plus-26 rating in 128 career WHL games, adding 29 points (14+15) in 35 playoff games.
