The Spruce Kings and the Silverbacks are no strangers as both teams are in the Interior Divison. The two teams met a total of 11 times one year ago. However, the 2023-24 Spruce Kings roster is vastly different than what the Silverbacks saw last year.
The off-season saw the departure of a few key players. Jordan Fairlie, John Herrington and Colton Cameron to name some.
With the open spots, the Spruce Kings made many vital additions.
Alexis Cournoyer(03), Quinn Disher (03) and Dylan Wegner (04) are a part of that group.
In total, Prince George will have 12 first-year Spruce Kings lace up Saturday night in Salmon Arm.
EDIT: 14 first-year Spruce Kings will be in Saturday’s lineup
Puck drop from the Shaw Centre in Salmon Arm on Saturday night will be at 6:00 PM (PDT). You can listen to all the action on Mixlr and watch on FloHockey.
