Spruce Kings acquire Division 1 commit

PRINCE GEORGE — The Prince George Spruce Kings have traded for forward Simon Labell (’02) from the Rockland Nationals of the CCHL in exchange for future considerations. He is currently quarantining at home in Ottawa after returning from New Jersey where he played earlier this year. He is expected to join the Spruce Kings later this month.

Labelle is committed to play Division 1 hockey at Colgate University after being named to the 2019-2020 CCHL High School Academic All-Star team. The 5’9″ winger scored 24 goals and 51 points in 54 games last season for Rockland.

“Simon is a very talented player with a ton of speed who will provide some offense to our forward group. We’re excited to add him to our team,” said Mike Hawes, Spruce Kings General Manager, in a statement.
