The Kings are excited to announce the signing of 2005 born defenseman Chad Lebeau.

The 20 year old blueliner brings 82 games of junior experience to the Kings, split evenly between the Fort McMurray Oil Barons (AJHL) and Weyburn Red Wings (SJHL) where he most recently played. “Chad is the type of player you want on your team” says Head Coach and G.M. Stephan Seeger Jr. “He is coming from the SJHL where he made it to the league finals. He is big, strong, and takes pride in the little details that keep the puck out of the net.”

Lebeau is a left shot defenseman from Repentigny Quebec and stands at 6 feet 2 inches tall and according to Seeger Jr. he is expected to be a leading force on the defensive side of things this season. “He is a physical presence with a great first pass and heavy release on his shot.” adds Seeger Jr. “He will be a calming presence on our blueline with his reliability and will give out some very heavy body checks when the timing presents itself.” This past season for the Red Wings Lebeau collected 9 points in 41 regular season games and had 3 points in 15 playoff games.

Entering his final year of junior hockey, Lebeau is looking forward to coming to Powell River and get the Kings back into the playoffs. “I’m very excited to get started in Powell River. I’ve heard lots of good things about the town and players. My expectations are to work as a team to get into the playoffs and earn the respect of others in the league.”
