PRINCE GEORGE — The Prince George Spruce Kings have announced defenseman Isaac Holt as their team captain – the 24th since the team joined the BCHL in 1996.

Holt hails from Pembroke, Ontario and is entering his second season with the Kings. The 6’5”, 233 pound defenseman put up a goal and three assists last season while picking up 66 penalty minutes. He was acquired in a trade with the Vernon Vipers early last season.

“I’m super honoured to be named captain. There’s a lot of great players that have worn this jersey and worn the ‘C’ in this organization, and I hope that I can continue to hold the standard that they have already set. I’m just looking to bring out the best of our team and hoping they can do the same for me,” said Holt.

“Isaac embodies what the Spruce Kings stand for. He is a great example of work ethic and dedication on ice and being an even better human off the ice and in the community. We as a staff believe that he, along with the rest of our leadership group will set the foundation for a successful BCHL season,” said Head Coach Brad Tesink.

In other Spruce Kings news, the team announced Tuesday the commitment of 2007 born defenseman Mikey Tkac for the 2025-2026 season.

Tkac is 6’2, 192 pounds from Bloomfield Hills, Michigan – who is a dual US/Slovakia Citizen, spent time with both Team Slovakia U18 and HC Kosice U20, playing in 41 games, putting up 3 goals and 7 assists.

He has represented Slovakia on the international stage at the 2024 Hlinka Gretzky Cup, as well as the 2023-2024 U17 season.
