Spruce Kings fall in royal clash

Dec 1, 2019 | 6:30 PM

The Prince George Spruce Kings returned to the Rolling Mix Concrete Arena for the first time in fifteen days as they hosted the Powell River Kings.

It was a tight-checking contest between the two clubs and special teams would play a major role in the 2nd meeting of the season between the squads.

Powell River would open the scoring in the first period on a nice passing play, which was finished off in the slot by Brett Roloson to make it 1-0 for the visitors.

They would double their lead early on in the middle stanza on their 3rd man advantage of the afternoon.

Roloson would receive the pass on the right-wing, streak in and rifle it past Jett Alexander for his 2nd of the night to make it 2-0.

Prince George would cut into that lead on a power play of their own.

In the dying moments of the man advantage, Nick Bochen would rip a wrister from the point which would get through everyone and make it 2-1 on Bochen’s 2nd of the season.

The Spruce Kings would press in the 3rd as they looked for the equalizer, but the Kings would keep Prince George off the scoreboard in the final minutes and hang on for the 2-1 win.

Prince George was without both Nick Poisson and Finlay Williams Sunday afternoon as both players are away in Calgary as they tryout for Team Canada West for the World Junior A Challenge.

Prior to Sunday’s game, the Kings did make a pair of trades as well.

The club acquired Domenic Garozzo from the Salmon Arm Silverbacks for Future Considerations.The 19-year-old forward had 3 goals and 7 assists with Salmon Arm. Garozzo made his Kings debut Sunday afternoon.

The other deal saw the Kings move Jaxon Steele to the Battleford North Stars of the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League for Brett Gammer. Gammer had 9 goals and 15 assists in 28 games with the North Stars this season.

With the loss, the Spruce Kings fall to 11-15-2-3 on the season. They will continue their five-game homestand Thursday night when they host the Chilliwack Chiefs.
