BCHL reschedules Road Show Event involving PG Spruce Kings to next winter

The Prince George Spruce Kings are getting a do-over when it comes to the Road Show Event.

Today (Wednesday), the BCHL stated the event in Burns Lake is coming back next year on the traditional land of the Ts’il Kaz Koh First Nation.

It will take place on Feb. 18 and 19 at Tom Forsyth Memorial Arena, where the Spruce Kings will play two regular-season games against the Salmon Arm Silverbacks.

Both teams were supposed to participate in the event last February, but it was postponed due to COVID-19.

The Lake Babine Nation will co-host the event.

“We were disappointed to have to postpone our event last season,” said BCHL CEO Chris Hebb. “But we are excited to announce these new dates and begin planning with our partners at the Lake Babine Nation, who have been a great group to work with.”

“The goal of this event is to bring high-level hockey to an area of the province that does not get to experience it every day and we can’t wait to get to Burns Lake and show that community what the BCHL is all about.”
