While hoisting the Fred Page Cup wasn’t a possibility for the Prince George Spruce Kings, earning top spot at the three-team Chilliwack pod isn’t a bad consolation prize.
PG finished with a solid 14-5-0-1 record ahead of the host Chiefs and Merritt Centennials – building up momentum for next season – whenever that may be.
Head Coach Alex Evin told
MyPGNow.com the team had a nice balance of youth and experience.
“We liked our group this year. It was a mix of youth and experience and I think we have a lot of players returning next season that we are happy with. Playing these games was important for us as a program to continue building.”

Abraham Weibe’s point shot at 18:05 of the opening frame trimmed the PG lead to 3-1 after the opening 20 minutes.
Undeterred, the Spruce Kings kept coming in waves in the second period.

Torzsok recorded a goal and an assist against his old team and asserted his place among banged up forward group.
“I got some opportunities on the power-play and the boys were shooting the puck a lot and I did my job in front of the net and good things happened today.”
