Spruce Kings prepare to host Coastal Conference Finals against the Nanaimo

PRINCE GEORGE – With under 72 hours between rounds after completing a tough seven game series against the Chilliwack Chiefs, the Prince George Spruce Kings were hard at work preparing for game one of the coastal conference finals against the Nanaimo Clippers. After playing fourteen games in twenty five days, the Kings have shown no signs of slowing down as they continue their longest playoff run since 2019.

“After a day off we just got the guys out doing a few touch drills just to kind of get the feet going and get the hands back into it. Obviously we are working on a few things that we’ve seen in video that we want to implement for the series against Nanaimo.” said Spruce Kings Associate Coach Brad Tobin.

After winning their last 5 games at home, the Kings hope to keep that streak alive as they have home ice advantage against Nanaimo. The Kings home ice advantage could prove to be even more valuable as they take on a Clippers team not accustomed to long travel. The two squads have met three times this season with the Kings taking all three including a 4-3 overtime thriller in early February. Despite the success against the Clippers, the Kings aren’t getting ahead of themselves as they understand that regular season results don’t always translate into playoff success.
