The Prince George Spruce Kings will have the Poisson brother combination on their roster for the 2018-19 season.
The Spruce Kings committed to 17-year-old forward Nick Poisson from the Burnaby Winter Club.
He is the younger brother of Ben Poisson, who was the second leading scorer with the Spruce Kings (51 points in 53 games) during the 2017-18 season.
Nick, listed at five-foot-10, scored 17 goals and added 25 assists during last year’s Midget Prep Season in the Canadian Sport School Hockey League (CSSHL).
“We identified Nick throughout this season as an affiliate player, in his time with our team, Nick impressed our staff. He a very intelligent player who plays the game the right way with a high compete level and strong work ethic,” said Spruce Kings Head Coach Adam Maglio in a team release.
A number of Burnaby Winter Club Alumni played for the Spruce Kings last season, including Liam Watson-Brawn, Nolan Welsh, Ethan de Jong, Ben Poisson, and Bradley Cooper.
Nick will join current Burnaby Winter Club Midget Prep players Nick Bochen and Tyler Schleppe on the Spruce Kings team in the fall.
