A familiar name is sticking around Prince George but will be wearing a different jersey this season.

Today (Monday), the Spruce Kings signed ex-Cougars blueliner Fraser Leonard to a player agreement for the upcoming BCHL season.

Leonard finished last season with the Cougars putting up 3 assists in 36 games.

Over 95 WHL games, he scored four times and added eight assists for 12 points between Calgary, Saskatoon, and PG.

“Fraser is a great addition to our back end. He’s a veteran player with good size and has a great skill set. He will be looked upon to contribute in all areas. We’re excited to add him.” said Mike Hawes, Spruce Kings general manager.
