PRINCE GEORGE BC – The Spruce Kings are excited to announce the hiring of new Associate Coach Lukáš Lomicky.
Lomicky spent last season as the Head Coach for the Revelstoke Grizzlies of the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League. Lomicky was also the Video Coach for Team Czech Republic at the World U-17 Hockey Challenge.
“It is an honour to join a premier Junior A Franchise, the Prince George Spruce Kings. They have always run one of the best franchises in the BCHL and when I heard the opportunity, I knew I wanted the chance to join the organization” says Lomicky. “They have been able to move players and coaches to the next level time and time again, while also keeping a winning tradition. I want to thank Mike and Alex for the opportunity, and I am excited to get the season going and to be able to call Prince George my home.”
Lomicky is from the Czech Republic and coached there for four years before coming to British Columbia.
“We are excited to add Lukáš to our coaching staff. We had heard a lot of good things about Lukas from many people throughout the hockey world and after we had some discussions with him, we know he will be a great fit for the organization” says GM Mike Hawes. “He will fit well within our values and expectations as an organization and will compliment Alex well. I am very happy with the looks of our on-ice hockey staff moving forward and can’t wait to see where Alex, Lukas, Jason, and Nick can take our group.”
Some coaching accolades for Lomicky include a KIJHL Championship in 2018-19 with the Grizzlies and a World U -17 Hockey Challenge Bronze Medal as the Video Coach for the Czech Republic in 2017-18.
“Lukáš will undoubtedly be a strong contributor to our team. His work ethic and core values align well with our organization,” says Head Coach Alex Evin. “I am looking forward to working with all of our staff members next season.”
The Spruce Kings would like to welcome Lukas to the organization and to the BC Northern Capital!
