PRINCE GEORGE, BC
– The Prince George Spruce Kings of the British Columbia Hockey League
(BCHL) have completed a trade with the Carleton Place Canadians of the
Central Canada Hockey League (CCHL). The Spruce Kings acquired Shayne
Morrissey (‘92) in exchange for Alec Butcher (‘94) and future
considerations.
Shayne
Morrissey is a 5’ 9” 172 lbs left handed forward from St. John’s,
Newfoundland. Morrissey led the Canadians with 87 points (34G, 53A) in
62 games last season. His Junior ‘A’ career record consists of 190 games
played with 102 goals and 130 assists for 232 points.
"I'm
very excited that we were able to acquire Shayne,” said Spruce Kings
General Manager, Mike Hawes. “He is a highly skilled, impact player who
will come in and compliment an already strong forward group. He is also a
tremendous young man who will fit in well with our organization's core
values."
Morrissey
is committed to the educational route to pursue his hockey goals and
gaining a scholarship while playing for the Prince George Spruce Kings.
He is expected to arrive in time for the Spruce Kings three game road
trip this weekend with games against the Surrey Eagles Friday and the
Langley Rivermen Saturday and Sunday.
The
Prince George Spruce Kings would like to thank Alec Butcher for his
contributions to the team and wish him all the best with his hockey
career.(Nathan can be reached at nathanfournier@mainehockeyjournal.com)
