The Prince George Spruce
Kings are pleased to announce the acquisition of 19 year old defenseman Adam
Burnett from The Ancaster Avalanche of the Greater Ontario Junior Hockey League
(GOJHL) in exchange for future considerations.
The 6’3” 205lb Burnett is
from Waterdown, Ontario and played 35 games last in the Ontario Junior Hockey
League (OJHL) split between the Stouffville Spirit and Milton Icehawks. He
tallied 3 goals and 14 assists for 17 points plus 62 minutes in penalties in
those 35 games. He finished the season with the Ancaster Avalanche where he
tallied 2 goals and 11 assists for 13 points plus 14 penalty minutes in 13
games played.
“Adam is a big strong
veteran defenseman with great leadership abilities. He has played over 130
Junior A games in Ontario. He will play in all situations for us and make an
already deep defense group even deeper. A lot of the success we have this
season will start with our defensemen and Adam will be a big part of that” said
Spruce Kings General Manager Mike Hawes.
Adam will join the rest of
his Spruce Kings teammates when the team commences their Main Training Camp on
August 24th at the coliseum.
