The Prince George Spruce Kings are pleased to announce the commitment of goaltender Logan Neaton (99) to the NCAA University of Massachusetts-Lowell River Hawks for the 2019/2020 season.
Neaton, from Brighton, Michigan is in his first season with the Spruce Kings, leading the league in Wins, Goals Against Average, and sits 2nd in Save % through 26 Games. His record is 19-4-0-1.
General Manager Mike Hawes: “We are extremely happy for Logan. When we began discussions with him last summer about coming to Prince George to be a Spruce King, achieving his goal of getting an NCAA Division 1 commitment was a large part of our conversations. I’m glad we were able to assist Logan in reaching this goal. He has proven that he is an elite goalie in our league and he is very deserving of this scholarship to a great school like UMASS Lowell”
Head Coach Adam Maglio: “We are proud and excited for Logan’s commitment to Umass Lowell. Logan is detailed and well prepared on and off the ice. He has a growth mindset and has developed into a top goalie in our league. Logan is very deserving of this achievement.”
The Spruce Kings are in action Friday and Saturday night against the Surrey Eagles. Friday night is the annual Drop the Gloves and Sock it to Em game, where fans are asked to bring warm winter clothing in bags including toques, mitts, scarves, and socks to throw onto the ice when the Spruce Kings score their first goal. Tickets available online www.sprucekings.bc.ca or between 12 pm and 4 pm Monday to Friday at the Spruce Kings office.
