The Prince George Spruce Kings added to its forward core for next season.
Today (Monday), the BCHL club signed 18-year-old Ben Vreugdenhil.
He is 6’4, 220 pounds from Frankford, Ontario who spent the last two seasons with the Wellington Dukes of the OJHL.
Ben put up 22 goals and 28 assists for 50 points in 55 games this season, after scoring six times and adding seven helpers in 2023-2024. He had one assist in nine playoff games during his two seasons in the OJHL.
“Ben is a well-rounded player who will contribute in all aspects of the game. He’s a big player who moves very well. We will look to him to provide offense while playing a solid defensive game. We’re thrilled to add him to our group.” said Mike Hawes, Spruce Kings general manager.
The Spruce Kings are back in action Tuesday and Wednesday for Games Three and Four of their first-round series against the Chilliwack Chiefs.
Puck drop for both nights is 7pm at the Kopar Memorial Arena.
