Spruce Kings Commit to Keller
The Prince George Spruce Kings are pleased to announce the commitment of 2006 born defenseman Matt Keller for the 2025-2026 season.
Keller is 6’3, 205 pounds from Airdrie, Alberta who finished last season with the Calgary Canucks of the Alberta Junior Hockey League, winning the Centennial Cup National Championship. Keller put up five assists in 15 games in the regular season and added an additional seven assists in 13 playoff games.

Spruce Kings General Manager Mike Hawes: “Matt is a veteran player with lots of junior experience. We were very impressed during the recruiting process regarding not only his on-ice ability but his character. He will be a tremendous teammate and will be a great addition to our team. It’s also always nice when you can add a player with championship pedigree after winning last season’s National Championship.”
