In advance of the start of the team’s training camp, The Prince George Spruce Kings are excited to announce that 20 year old local Prince George player Jake LeBrun will be team Captain for the upcoming 2015/2016 season.
LeBrun is entering his
fourth season as a Spruce King and is a veteran of over 160 regular season and
playoff games. Last season LeBrun tallied 17 goals and 20 assists for 37 points
in 42 regular season games and played an integral part of the Spruce Kings’
round one playoff series victory over The Langley Rivermen.
“Jake has all the
leadership qualities that you look for in a Captain. He also knows what the
expectations of the team are and understands what it takes for the team to be
successful. He’s very deserving of this honour and will do a tremendous job as
a leader” said Spruce Kings General Manager Mike Hawes.
“It’s an honour and a
dream come true to be named Captain of my home town team. Something I’ve been
working towards for the last few years. To be rewarded for all my hard work is
really satisfying” said Jake LeBrun.
“In getting to know our returning players we
feel Jake is a great choice to be our captain for this season. He is
entering his fourth season with our team and has a lot of experience. He
leads by example both on and off the ice and has a lot of respect from his
teammates and our coaching staff. We have a lot of confidence in Jake and
believe he will be a great captain for us” said Spruce Kings Head Coach Chad
van Diemen.
Jake LeBrun will join the
rest of his Spruce Kings teammates at training camp from Monday August 24th
to Thursday Aug 28th. All ice times of training camp will be in the
evenings and will include full intra-squad games at 7:00pm on Tuesday Aug 25th,
Wednesday Aug 26th and Thursday Aug 27th. All training
camp games are open to the public and free of charge. The Spruce Kings will welcome
the Merritt Centennials to town for the team’s first exhibition game on Friday
August 28th at 7:00pm. We look forward to having our loyal Spruce
Kings fans at the coliseum to see what this year’s version of the squad will
look like.
