“People can bring tuques, warm clothing, socks, mitts, and gloves and all those sorts of things to throw on the ice. I think there’s far more value in something like that than teddy bears coming on the ice. There’s value in that also, but there’s such a high demand for this sort of stuff.”

– Mike Hawes, General Manager Prince George Spruce Kings

Yes the fans are excited, but the staff at St.Vincent might just be the most excited of the bunch.

“By the beggining of December, our staff at the store says ‘When are the Spruce Kings dropping their sock’ because they know that they will be able to say yes to everyone who comes for of pair.”

– Bernie Goold

The Spruce Kings are expected to have their first sellout game tomorrow night. So, if you’re stopping by, make sure to bring those socks, those tuques and any winter warm attire to throw on the ice. The game starts at 7:00.
