Spruce Kings sign Maglio to new deal
The Prince George Spruce Kings have rewarded head coach Adam Maglio with a two-year contract extension.
Maglio, who led the B.C. Hockey League’s Kings to a Mainland Division regular-season championship in 2017-18, followed by Mainland and Coastal playoff titles, is now signed through the 2020-21 season.
Maglio is currently in his fourth year with the organization and second as head coach.
“I am excited to sign an extension with the Prince George Spruce Kings beyond the 2018-2019 season,” Maglio said in a media release. “I would like to thank (general manager) Mike Hawes, (president) Rick Turgeon and the rest of the organization for their continued support and trust in our coaching staff. I feel fortunate to be a part of a great organization which I believe has one of the best hockey communities in the BCHL. I look forward to working and pushing the growth and development of our team on a daily basis.”
Added Hawes: “I feel that the continuity and stability of having a great coach in place for an extended period is important to the success of any team. Adam has shown that he is an elite coach. His commitment to our team, his work ethic and ability to teach and relate to the players is tremendous.”
The Spruce Kings, sitting on top of the BCHL standings with a 5-1-0-0 record, play Friday in Surrey, Saturday in Langley and Sunday in Coquitlam.
