PRINCE GEORGE — The Prince George Spruce Kings have signed 17-year-old forward Dominic Szczygiel for the 2025-2026 season.

The five-foot-11 native of Avenel, NJ has spent the last three seasons with the Christian Brothers Academy and New Jersey Rockets AAA program.

The 2007-born forward put up 50 goals and 83 assists over three seasons in the High School League in New Jersey. He also had nine goals and 14 assists during the Tier 1 Hockey Federation seasons with the Rockets between 2022 and 2025.

Szczygiel also had 25 goals and 39 assists for 64 points in 77 games during his 16U AAA season in 2023-2024.

“Dominic is a skilled forward who can contribute in all areas. He’s a very good 200 foot player. We’re excited to add him to our group next season,” Spruce Kings General Manager Mike Hawes said.
