Jarin Sutton is moving home, after the Prince George Spruce Kings acquired the local defenceman from the Grande Prairie Storm in a trade on Friday.
Sutton had 43 games in the BCHL with the Victoria Grizzlies, before moving to Alberta and racking six goals and 13 assists for the Storm.
"It's always nice to add another local player to our lineup," Spruce Kings GM Mike Hawes said in a press release. "Jarin is a great young man who plays the game hard and will provide some size, experience and physical play to our backend. He's excited to be coming home and we're excited to have him."
The Kings also picked up forward Jackson Zloty from the Calgary Canucks. Zloty had four goals and 11 assists for Calgary before moving to P.G.
Both trades were made in exchange for future considerations.
"Jackson is a good-skating, skilled forward who adds another good veteran piece to our lineup," Hawes said. "Depth and experience are always important, especially as we head down the back stretch of the season."
The Spruce Kings host the Surrey Eagles tonight. Game time is 7 p.m.
