Spruce Kings General Manager Mike Hawes: “Sam is a proud Spruce Kings alumni who is a former team captain and was a player who played the game hard and played it the right way. Sam brings an immense amount of expertise that he will pass along to our players. I’m thrilled to add him to our coaching staff”

Sam Muchalla: “First off, I want to thank Mike Hawes for the opportunity to join the Spruce Kings staff. From my playing days to now stepping into player development, Mike has always been incredibly supportive. I’m excited to work closely with the coaching staff — Brad has done a great job transitioning from assistant to head coach, and I’m looking forward to supporting his vision. Obviously, Brandon and I go way back — we’re close friends, he had a great pro career, and we still talk a lot of hockey. It’ll be great to bounce ideas off each other in a more formal setting. As a staff and as an organization, we’re committed to developing not just high-level players, but great people. That’s something I’m proud to be part of.”
