Spruce Kings Acquire Bianchi, Rights to Rennie

The Prince George Spruce Kings have acquired defenseman Nick Bianchi (06) and the BCHL playing rights of forward Ewan Rennie (05) from the Langley Rivermen in exchange for the BCHL playing rights of forward Max Pendy (06).

Bianchi is 5’11, 175 pounds from Rochester, New York who is in his first season in the BCHL.  In 20 games with Langley this season, he has two goals and nine assists for 11 points.

Spruce Kings General Manager Mike Hawes: “We’re excited to a add Nick to our backend. He skates well, competes hard and thinks the game well. He is a great add to our group.”

The acquisition of Bianchi was necessitated by the departure of defenseman Fraser Leonard, who departed this week and has signed with the Lethbridge Hurricanes of the Western Hockey League.

Rennie is currently the leading scorer for the Estevan Bruins of the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League with 21 goals and 23 assists for 44 points in 27 games.

Pendy is the Alberta Junior Hockey League’s leading scorer with 17 goals and 32 assists for 49 points in 26 games.
