International players with Spruce Kings adjusting to Canadian life

Prince George Spruce Kings forward Kazumo Sasaki and defenceman Max Ranstrom bring international hockey flavour to Prince George.

In Nishitokyo, Japan, the hometown of Prince George Spruce Kings forward Kazumo Sasaki, hockey is considered a fringe activity that not many kids play.

That was a huge step for me and it took a little long to get used to it but I finished the year strong so it was a good experience for me,” said Sasaki. "We have great crowds here and the energy is awesome so I’m really looking forward to it,” Sasaki said. Ranstrom, who turns 19 on Dec. 21, has points in all but his first game with the Spruce Kings. He leads the team in scoring with a goal and four assists. He connected on the power play a week ago in Penticton to notch his first BCHL goal.
