WATCH: PG hockey product joining Chicago Blackhawks after seven years in Philadelphia

WATCH:

Prince George defenceman Brandon Manning is moving to the windy city, signing a two-year contract with the Chicago Blackhawks.

The 28-year-old spent seven years with the Philadelphia Flyers, scoring an NHL career-high 19 points (7G, 12A) in 65 games last season.

“They’re looking for someone to bring a physical game and a strong defensive presence. I think I’ve proven I can do that and chip in occasionally offensively. I’ve always taken pride in my defence and my competitive level and that’s something they’re looking forward to me bringing.”

– PG native Brandon Manning

Manning’s deal with Chicago is $2 million per season, plus a signing bonus for a cap hit of $2.25 million.
