The Prince George Spruce
Kings are pleased to announce the re-acquisition of 20 year old defenseman
Stephen Penner from The Trail Smoke Eaters in exchange for future
considerations.
The 6’5” 215lb Penner is
from Prince George and played 44 games for the Spruce Kings in the 2013/2014
season. He also played 28 games for the Spruce Kings last season before being
traded in early December to The Trail Smoke Eaters.
“Stephen is a big, strong,
physical defenseman who can contribute in both ends of the ice. I wanted to add
some size and strength on the back end and Stephen is a great fit for us.
Obviously we are very familiar with Stephen and what he brings to a team. As
important as his on ice ability is the fact that Stephen is a great person who
is a tremendous teammate and is great in the room. He will provide some
leadership and will contribute to an already strong group of returning
defenseman’” said Spruce Kings General Manager Mike Hawes.
Stephen will join the rest
of his Spruce Kings teammates when the team commences their Main Training Camp
on August 24th at the coliseum.
