PRINCE GEORGE BC – The Prince George Spruce Kings are thrilled to announce the commitment of F Brayden Skogstad (’05) for the 2022-23 season. The 2005 born forward from Kelowna BC is currently playing at RINK Hockey Academy in Kelowna in the Canadian Sport School Hockey League (CSSHL).
“I couldn’t be happier about becoming a Spruce King next season”, said Skogstad. “Attending main camp and having the opportunity to play in a couple of pre-season games solidified the fact that this a great fit for a player like me! I’m excited for what is ahead.”
Skogstad suited up in a pair of exhibition games for the Spruce Kings in late September against the Merritt Centennials and the West Kelowna Warriors. Before joining RINK Academy, Skogstad spent the 2019-20 season with the Okanagan Rockets U15 club and finished with 14 goals and 28 assists in 30 games played.
“Brayden is an exceptional young man and an extremely hard-working player who is counted upon in every facet of the game,” said Assistant General Manager Craig Carter. “Brayden possesses a high-end skill set and hockey sense combined with his 200-foot game and he will be a great addition next fall.”
The Spruce Kings are pleased to welcome Brayden and his family to the organization and to the city of Prince George!
