“Yeah, obviously there’s been some growing for Charlie to do just learning about our league, but obviously a ton of success offensively.”

Tesink believes Spencer’s skillset gives him the potential to become an even more complete player as he continues adjusting to the league. In particular, the coach points to Spencer’s skating and ability to play at a high pace as strengths that separate him from many players his age.

“Obviously his skating ability and his pace of play stands out amongst our group. But for him finding ways to contribute in multiple ways, finding ways to be successful, five on five is tracking in his T-zone and opening up other opportunities for him are going to be big.”

Despite the impressive start, Spencer says the groundwork for his early success was laid long before the season began. During the offseason, he focused heavily on improving his strength, balance, and overall skills in preparation for the jump to junior hockey.

“The summer, you know obviously going the gym. You know, try to get my legs and balance and all that type of stuff under me and then, you know, just very skilled work with, you know, different guys, different groups. And yeah, I feel pretty good.”

The move to Prince George also marked a significant change for the young forward. Growing up in Chicago, Spencer likely never imagined he would find himself playing hockey in northern British Columbia. But the adjustment appears to have gone smoothly both on and off the ice.

When asked how a player from one of America’s largest cities ended up in Prince George, Spencer laughed off the question before sharing his appreciation for his new home.

“It’s a good spot, though. I love it.”

If his first few games are any indication, Spencer is quickly becoming a player to watch in Prince George. And as he continues to grow his all-around game, the Spruce Kings could be seeing only the beginning of what the talented rookie has to offer.
