The Prince George Spruce Kings are excited to announce that they have traded for Bryan Basilico, from the Trail Smoke Eaters in exchange for future considerations.

The 20 year old forward from Macomb, Michigan will be joining the team after spending the last two seasons with Trail. In 51 games last year, Bryan posted 12 goals and 22 assists to go along with 41 penalty minutes. Prior to playing with the Smoke Eaters, Basilico spent three years in the USHL with the Sioux Falls Stampede, Des Moines Buccaneers, and the Green Bay Gamblers. He is currently committed to playing at Lake Superior State University next season.

“Bryan is a big power forward type player who can put up good numbers offensively. He will add some size, strength, and scoring to our forward group which is something we’ve been lacking so far this season. His leadership abilities and veteran presence will also be a nice addition to our room,” said Spruce Kings general manager Mike Hawes.
