PRINCE GEORGE – It’s been a gradual move westbound for Mitchell Karapita.

On Thursday, the Prince George Spruce Kings announced Karapita as their new team trainer.

Originally from Yorkton, Saskatchewan, Karapita is a recent graduate of the Bachelor of Health and Physical Education in Athletic Therapy program at Mount Royal University in Calgary, Alberta.

“I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to work with a staff, roster, and community of this calibre. I know how much the Spruce Kings mean to Prince George and I’m looking forward to begin my career when the team hits the ice this fall,” said Karapita.

“We’re excited to bring Mitchell on board. He’s an energetic guy who was very impressive through the hiring process. He will fit in well with our young progressive staff and will be a tremendous addition to our group,” said Spruce Kings General Manager Mike Hawes in a release issued by the team.
