I was fortunate enough to be able to catch up with one of the four new players signed to the Spruce Kings roster. What might come as a surprise to some is that Jeff Earnest has actually skated for the past two years with the Spruce Kings.
Okay it is a bit of a twist on what is fact, but Jeff has been in the past two Prospects Camps and last season's main camp. This August he will be back for his second main camp and this time he isn't leaving afterwards.
I talked with Jeff about being on the Spruce Kings radar for the past two years, how those seasons have shaped his game and what fans can expect to see from him on the ice in 2009/10 and beyond.

At 5'10" and 175 lbs, Jeff may not be the biggest player on paper, but don't let those numbers fool you as he is solid. Putting a few more pounds on will make it just that much harder for defenders to keep him away from the front of the net and off the score sheet.
Look (and listen) for more on the other three signings from last week as well as future signings, which of course more are sure to come.

Enjoyed listening to the interview! Listening to Jeff makes me wish hockey would start again tomorrow. Miss the smell of the arena and the sound of the crowd. Can't wait to see how this player and others will mesh with the rest of the remaining team from last year! It sounds like we could have a really good team to watch this season, with some experience on the ice on both lines! Look out BCJHL! Here come the Kings!
