PRINCE GEORGE BC – The Spruce Kings are excited to announce that forward and Prince George product Corey Cunningham (’01) has committed to play NCAA Division 1 Hockey at Merrimack College in North Andover, MA.

 

“I am very happy for Corey and his family for many reasons. He is a local Prince George kid, he comes from a great family, and he is going into his fourth year as a Spruce King,” says GM Mike Hawes. “Corey understood the process as a young player. He was patient, absorbed as much as he could, and he learned from our coaches and the very good players he was surrounded by. Now he is a veteran leader on our team and is very deserving of this opportunity.”

 

Cunningham is coming off his best season as a Spruce King. The 19-year-old tallied a team leading 26 goals and finished with 44 points on the 2019-20 campaign. In his 3 year tenure this far in Spruce Kings colours, Cunningham has a career 36 goals and 26 assists in 140 BCHL games played.

We look forward to helping Corey get ready for Merrimack in the future.”
