The Komoka Kings are pleased to announce that 2007-born forward Ben Funston has re-signed with the club for the 2025-2026 season.
Funston, a Komoka native, is entering his second season in the GOJHL. Funston began his rookie year with the Strathroy Rockets, and was part of a December 20th trade to Komoka, in exchange for Justin Skirten. Prior to the trade, he had three goals and two assists for five points in 27 games. As a King, Funston elevated his game – scoring five goals and adding four assists for nine points in 19 games.
The hard-nosed 5’11/177-pound forward played significant time on the power play and penalty kill in Komoka, allowing him to grow his game. Prior to playing in the league, he was a member of the Elgin-Middlesex Canucks U18 team, where he played with two of his current Kings teammates and under Kings Assistant GM Adam Simpson.
