Believe @DhaliwalSports & @risingaction 1st on him signing with Van
Entering the 2024-25 season, Sprong is coming off two impressive seasons with Seattle and Detroit. At 27 years old, he achieved career-highs with 21 goals and an average of just over 11 minutes of ice time per game during the 2022-23 season. His performance last year earned him a one-year, $2 million contract with Detroit.
Drafted in the second round of the 2015 NHL Draft, Sprong became the fourth Dutch player to compete in the NHL, furthering his legacy in hockey's top league.
