Prince George Spruce Kings hockey fans will want to mark Sunday, Oct. 3 on their calendars.
That afternoon, after more than a year of forced exile due to the pandemic, they’ll finally get to watch their Spruce Kings play a home game live at Rolling Mix Concrete Arena on the final day of the B.C. Hockey League exhibition season.
The Kings host the Merritt Centennials that day in the last of four preseason games for Prince George. The other three are all on the road, starting Thursday, Sept. 24 in Merritt, followed by games on Tuesday, Sept. 28 in West Kelowna and Wednesday, Sept. 29 in Penticton.
The Kings open the BCHL season Oct. 8 in Merritt and visit West Kelowna the following night. The Centennials will travel to Prince George to face the Kings in their weekend home-opening series Oct. 15-16 at Rolling Mix.
The Spruce Kings’ 58-game regular season wraps up March 18-19 at home against the Salmon Arm Silverbacks.
