The Prince George Spruce Kings have some holes to fill to restock their forward depth and Alex Krause and Max Borovinskiy are up for the task.
They plan to be there to give B.C. Hockey League team a competitive edge in the 2020-21 season now that they’ve signed with the Spruce Kings.
Krause, an 18-year-old Dartmouth College recruit from Calabasas, Calif., played Loomis Chafee School last season in the U.S. High School Hockey League based in Windsor, Conn.
In 32 games with the Pelicans, Krause scored 16 goals and had 24 assists for 40 points to rank second in team scoring.
“While he has the ability to make plays offensively, Alex plays an honest and hardworking game which is why we believe he has the potential to be an impact player for us,” said Kings head coach Alex Evin, in a team release. “We are looking forward to helping Alex on his path to developing into a college-ready player.”
Borovinskiy, 15, is the latest in a long line of Spruce Kings recruited from the Burnaby Winter Club of the Canadian Sport School Hockey Association. The West Vancouver native put up 12 goals and 14 assists in 34 games and finished fifth in team scoring for the Bruins under-18 prep team. He also produced two assists in two playoff games.
“Max exemplifies the quality of player and person that our program values on and off the ice,” said Evin. “He has the ability to play fast and physical and his ice awareness will allow him to be an elite contributor at the junior A level one day.
“Max comes from a program that promotes a team culture that aligns with our core values which will make for an easy transition into our organization.”
