Spruce Kings add Harnett to Coaching Staff

The Prince George Spruce Kings have hired Taylor Harnett as the Associate Coach for the remainder of the season. He will join Brad Tesink’s staff as Tesink will remain as the team’s interim head coach for the remainder of the season.

He was also nominated for the MJHL Coach of the Year in 2022.

“Taylor has a wealth of coaching experience,” said Spruce Kings General Manager Mike Hawes, “Adding him to our staff gives us another resource which assists our players and our team to be better. We’re fortunate and thrilled to add Taylor to our organization.“

Harnett will join the team this week and will be on the bench Friday when the Spruce Kings host the Langley Rivermen, and Saturday for the Drop the Gloves and Sock it to ‘Em game..
