Roster Addition

Spruce Kings bring third goalie into the mix

PRINCE GEORGE – The Spruce Kings have brought in some goaltending support to the squad.

On Tuesday (Jan. 12), Prince George announced that they have added goaltender Kobe Grant to the roster.

The 18-year-old was previously with the Kelowna Chiefs of the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League (KIJHL). In the 2019-20 season, Grant played 21 games with the Thompson Blazers of the British Columbia Major Midget League, where he tallied an even 10-10 record, along with a 3.19 goals-against average.

Grant also affiliated and played in one game with the Vernon Vipers last season.

“We’re happy to add Kobe to the roster. He’s a good young athletic goalie and is a good fit for our current roster,” says GM Mike Hawes. “I wanted to get back to carrying three goaltenders due to a lack of access to affiliate players this season and in anticipation of us being able to play games in the near future.”
