The hockey journey of Matus Lukacik will include his most northern destination to date.
The 17-year-old forward from Slovakia signed with the Prince George Spruce Kings today (Friday).
Lukacik is no stranger to living in North America as he spent last season with the 16U AAA program of the Cleveland Barons.
In total, he amassed 63 points in 77 regular season games.
He also represented Slovakia at the U16 level in 2023-2024.
“I’m really happy and excited to join the Prince George Spruce Kings! I chose Prince George because I heard it’s a great place for young players. The coaches and staff help players improve, and the team is very professional. After I talked with the coaches and learned more about the team and how it works, I felt this is the best place for me to grow — as a player and also as a person.”
“I’m ready to work hard every day, play a good team game, and help the team win in any way I can. I really look forward to starting and being part of something special in Prince George.”
