PRINCE GEORGE – The BC Hockey League (BCHL) released its full 54-game schedule today for the 2021-22 regular season.

The regular season is set to begin on Friday, Oct. 8 and will conclude on Sunday, Mar. 20.

The Prince George Spruce Kings will open their season on the road with a game against the Merritt Centennials on Oct. 8. The two teams grew to know each other quite well during the 2021 season as they faced off ten times as two of three teams in the Chilliwack Pod.

The team hopes to be welcoming back fans for their home opener, which will come three games into the 2021-22 schedule. Those very Centennials will be in Prince George for a back-to-back on Friday-Saturday.

“We are excited to turn the page and get back to competing for a Fred Page Cup in 2021-22,” said BCHL Deputy Commissioner Steven Cocker. “With our schedule now out, players as well as fans will have the opportunity to look ahead to key dates and get excited for our 60^thAnniversary season.”
