Spruce Kings sign two players after back-to-back wins over Bulldogs

“We’re excited to add Corson,” Spruce Kings General Manager Mike Hawes said. “He’s a hard working player who can produce offensively while also playing a well rounded game. His addition to our forward group really enhances our depth at that position.”

Polhill is a six-foot-three native of Cochrane, Alta., who has a 5-10-3 record in 20 games with the Estevan Bruins of the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League. He has a 3.30 Goals Against Average and a .898 save percentage.

“Ben is big athletic goalie who will come in and battle for the net,” Hawes said. “Healthy internal competition for the net is a good thing and will make our team better.”

The Spruce Kings announced the signings one day after they beat the Alberni Valley Bulldogs for the second time in as many nights. Brogan McNeil led the way with a hat trick as the Kings beat the Bulldogs 7-4 on Saturday.

The Kings will host the Surrey Eagles at Kopar Memorial Arena on Wednesday Jan. 22, after the BCHL’s all star weekend.

Defenceman Evan Bellamy and forward Brock Cummings will represent the Spruce Kings at the top prospects game in Salmon Arm on Jan. 17.

Cummings, who had three assists in Saturday’s win, will also feature on the all-star game on Jan. 18.
