The Prince George Spruce Kings will play a pair of games during the BC Hockey League Showcase this fall on the Lower Mainland, according to a BCHL press release on Friday (July 12).

“We are thrilled to have the support of the Vancouver Canucks as co-hosts of this year’s Showcase event,” BCHL commissioner Steven Cocker said in a press release.

“With the support of an NHL team for the second year in a row and the ability to host the Showcase games in a professional building like the Abbotsford Centre, as well as a top-notch facility in Chilliwack, we think the 2024 Showcase will provide a heightened experience for our players, as well as the hundreds of scouts that will attend.”

Prince George will square off against the Alberni Valley Bulldogs on Oct. 14 and the Blackfalds Bulldogs on Oct. 15.

Both games will take place at the Abbotsford Centre.

The Spruce Kings may be dealing with fatigue during the Showcase, as they are scheduled to play a pair of games in Alberta before heading to the Coast — against the Okotoks Oilers on Oct. 11 and the Brooks Bandits on Oct. 12 ,

New to the event this year will be a Junior Prospects Hockey League (JPHL) under-18 Showcase, which will be played in the latter stages of the event at the Chilliwack Coliseum.
