Merritt’s offensive explosion sinks sloppy Spruce Kings

Simply put, the Merritt Centennials were sick of losing to the Prince George Spruce Kings.
Thanks to a four-point effort, Ben Ward willed the last-place Cents to a wacky 6-5 victory on Saturday inside the BCHL’s Chilliwack Pod.
PG got off on the right foot courtesy of Christian Buono who broke loose shorthanded once again, handcuffing Colton Phillips-Watts for a 1-0 advantage.
Local product and former Cariboo Cougar Alex Ochitwa responded 90 seconds later on the power-play capitalizing on an unusually shaky Jordan Fairlie inside the Spruce Kings net.
Both would continue to exchange goals in the second as Amran Bhabra’s lazy wrister inside the Merritt blueline found its way past Phillips-Watts.

The goal light at the Chilliwack Coliseum received a workout thanks to the Prince George Spruce Kings.
Andrew Seaman and Christian Buono led the way offensively with a hat trick each pacing the Spruce Kings to a dominant 11-2 win against the Merritt Centennials on Wednesday.
“I think we knew we had a lot more offense to bring after those first two games. A lot of it was shaking off the rust as it’s been a while since we played. The second and third periods we got pucks to the net, got some good bounces and it’s just the way it goes sometimes,” added Seaman.
