The Picton Pirates Junior Hockey Club is proud to announce the hiring of Lucas Hulton as the organization’s new General Manager, marking an exciting new chapter for the franchise.

For the past year, Lucas has served as a scout and analyst with Top Draft Hockey Advisory, specializing in player recruitment, identification, and long term development projection. His sharp eye for talent and analytical approach will be central to building a competitive roster in Picton.

Beyond scouting, Lucas is the active Director of Business & Hockey Operations for Hulton Hockey, the family run company known for hosting premier junior skates and development sessions in the Kingston area. Hulton enters the role immersed in the game of hockey. The son of Jim Hulton—Kingston Sports Hall of Fame inductee, longtime major junior head coach, and former NHL staff member, Lucas has grown up learning the game from the inside-out. He spent over three years working at the historic Andrews Hockey School in Prince Edward Island, further expanding his experience in player development and elite training environments.

“I’m excited to join such a storied franchise and can’t wait to work with Head Coach Rick Van Vlack and Chris Rice to build a winning foundation in Picton. We have a great group of core guys that I’m eager to build around for next season and beyond.” Hulton says.

“Lucas brings a modern and highly informed perspective to our organization,” says Pirates Director of Hockey Operations Chris Rice. “His background in scouting and player development, combined with his deep passion for the game, makes him an exceptional fit for us. We’re excited to see him build a strong, competitive roster and help shape the future of our program.”
