Game 38 - at Westside Warriors

Pre Game Notes ...

The Spruce Kings will start the first of three games this weekend to wrap up the 2009 portion of their season in Westside. It is the final regular season meeting with the Warriors. The last time these two played in the Royal LePage Arena, the game went into overtime with the Warriors coming out victorious. Westside has picked up three wins against Prince George, but the Spruce Kings won't be in the giving mood tonight and think they may have received an early Christmas present in the form of a goaltender.

The following is an excerpt from the Fernie Ghostriders website.

Jason Greenwell has been called up to the Prince George Spruce Kings for this coming weekend.  This is a great opportunity for Jason to play some games at the Junior 'A' level.  The Spruce Kings will play against the Westside Warriors, Salmon Arm Silverbacks and the Merritt Centenials.  Greenwell currently leads all KIJHL goaltenders with 20 wins, 93.1sv % and a 1.65 GAA.  Jason's last start in the BCHL was for the Trail Smokeeaters when he helped his previous affiliate team to a 5-4 win over the Quesnel Millionaires.

Wes McLeod Selected to All Star Starting Lineup

Prince George Spruce Kings veteran defenceman Wes McLeod was named today to the Interior Conference Starting Line for the BCHL All Star game to be held in Nanaimo January 13, 2010.

Wes McLeod has generated a lot of attention over the course of the past two seasons with the Spruce Kings and was on the Interior Division All Star team last year in Vernon. The defenceman who calls Kamloops home has also represented Team Canada West at the World Junior A Challenge and has played in the CJHL Prospects Game.

With a scholarship to the University of Alaska in Anchorage, Wes has proven to be a valuable member of the Spruce Kings and has compiled a record of 8 goals and 21 assists to average better than a point a game through 27 games this season. Through his three year tenure with the Spruce Kings, Wes has played in a total of 143 games with 17 goals and 56 assists.

Those numbers place Wes in the top 5 all-time Spruce Kings list for points by a defenceman, 6th among goals scored by a defenceman and 5th for assists by a defenceman.

This will be the first year that the BCHL All-Star Team will face the defending Fred Page Cup champions. The Vernon Vipers will be up against the league's best on January 13th at the Frank Crane Arena in Nanaimo.

The BCHL has released the entire All Star selections and has that list available on their website at http://www.bchl.ca

The player nomination and voting process was conducted by the head coaches of the BCHL’s 17 teams.

Wes McLeod and the Spruce Kings will face the Alberni Valley Bulldogs tonight and the Cowichan Valley Capitals tomorrow night in a pair of inter-divisional games in the BCHL. Game time both nights is 7:00pm in the Prince George Coliseum.

Alumni Relative Claims Latest Prize in Show Home Lottery

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

PRINCE GEORGE, BC – The Prince George Spruce Kings would like to congratulate Melissa Lawrence of Prince George, the winner of the third early bird draw in the 28th Annual Spruce Kings Show Home Lottery. Ticket number 3713 was purchased at Canadian Tire and was drawn on Sunday night at 8:00pm out of the Show Home Lottery draw barrel at the house in the Aberdeen Glen Subdivision.

When notified of that her ticket had been drawn as the early bird prize winner, Melissa was very excited and said she had been a long time follower of the Spruce Kings because her uncle Rick Kooses had played for the team. As the winner of the third early bird prize, Melissa wins a four pack of adult season tickets to the Prince George Spruce Kings 2010-11 British Columbia Hockey League season valued at $716.

The winning ticket was one of the 4,178 in the draw barrel, which is over 55% of the 7,500 tickets available for the annual lottery in support of the community owned Junior ‘A’ Spruce Kings hockey team.

We are so grateful to the overwhelming support we are getting.”

Seven early bird prizes remain leading up to the grand prize of a custom built Show Home by Ebb Construction valued at $376,000 on February 14, 2010. The next early bird prize draw will be on Sunday December 13, 2009 for a $2,000 Canadian Tire Gift Card.

Game 27 - at Quesnel Millionaires

Game Preview ...

Needless to say that this game has taken on a whole new complextion given the result just four nights ago and that these two will meet again in four more nights in the Coliseum. The Spruce Kings head back down to Quesnel to play the Millionaires for the second time in less than a week and the sixth time since the beginning of the season. This is also the fourth trip to Gold Pan city and a rink that was given the Spruce Kings fits having lost two of the previous three in the Vault.

On Friday night, confidence was high with the Spruce Kings riding a two game winning streak and the belief that the team had turned a corner in their season. That thought was quickly extinquished with the clang of the goal post, not once but twice as the Millionaires came at their visitors hard all night long. Just a matter of seconds into the opening period, Trevor Hertz rattled the post and the rebound came right back out for Tyler French who also hit the post. The Millionaires kept persisting and scored twice in the opening frame to take a 2-0 lead to the dressing room after the first period.

The Quesnel Millionaires contined their relentless forececk and eventually built up a 4-0 lead over the Spruce Kings. With time becoming a factor, the Spruce Kings were able to pounce on a few chances including a big point shot by Josh Pineiro that came right back on Kirby Halcrow (Quesnel Millionaires goaltender) where Lyndon Martell was able to find the loose puck to bury his third goal in nine games with his new team. Brooks Robinson scored the only other marker for Prince George giving the twenty year old forward his ninth of the season and 38th point to keep him in the top sixth among BCHL point getters.

The Spruce Kings will be looking for secondary offensive production and a strong defensive showing from top to bottom. With the smaller ice surface in Quesnel, the Millionaires like to dump and then press for a turnover. That style of play has proven effective with the Mill's 'D' getting rewarded with lots of assists and the occassional goal from point shots in the smaller offensive zones. One player that had a good game on Friday night but was still victimized by the final outcome was Spruce Kings goaltender Kyle Nielsen.

Nielsen faced a total of thirty shots and was strong between the pipes coming up with some big stops throughout. Tonight Steve Papciak, who has only played against the Millionaires once, will be back between the pipes tonight. Papciak and the Spruce Kings picked up a win against the Millionaires back on October 30th in Quesnel. That game saw the Spruce Kings build up a 3-0 lead on four shots to chase the starting goaltender eleven minutes in. On that night both Kirby Halcrow and Wes McLeod were away in Summerside PEI for the World Junior A Challenge. Tonight Halcrow is expected to get the start again for Quesnel and has proven to be a challenge for Prince George to beat in his three games with 2 wins and 1 loss as well as a 1.58 GAA and 93.67 save percentage.

Tonight's game is a 7:00pm start from the Vault in Quesnel with the game broadcast live on 93.1 CFIS-FM and also online from the Spruce Kings website. Prince George will be back at home for two more games this week starting with the Trail Smoke Eaters on Thursday and the Quesnel Millionaires on Saturday. Both games will be at the Prince George Coliseum with 7:00pm starts.

Game 25 - at Quesnel Millionaires

Game Preview ...

These two teams are proving to be more closely matched than either team would like to admit. Heading into this contest the Spruce Kings and the Millionaires are separated by a single point in the Interior Conference with the advantage going to Prince George and both having played 24 games. This is the fifth meeting between the two teams having split the previous four games with a pair of wins each. The teams will meet a total of ten times through the season with the winner of the season series winning this year's CNC Challenge Cup.

In the last two meetings it was the visitors that took home the victories in each other's rinks ... a trend the Spruce Kings would like to see continue, at least for tonight. The Spruce Kings are currently riding a two game winning streak having beat the Williams Lake Timberwolves twice in a row and both times by 6-3 margins. Prior to the games versus the Timberwolves, the Spruce Kings turned a corner in their season in a game against the league leading Vernon Vipers. It was a game that the Spruce Kings lost but ultimately came away with many morale victories in.

It was the game prior to Vernon that the Spruce Kings wish they could call a mulligan on after coming up with a poor performance against the Millionaires on home ice. That loss will still be fresh in the minds of all the players as they head into the Vault tonight. In that game the Millionaires introduced the BCHL to Catlin Bigsnake, at 6'5" 275, the younger brother of Bigsnake is an imposing presence on the ice and intended only to be an enforcer for Quesnel. Jonathan Gibson ended up in a dust up with Bigsnake and it is safe to say that Gibson still remembers the big man dusting off his hands after their no-decision tilt. But speaking with Gibson, the rookie only wants to see him and his team put the damage on the score clock and more specifically in the win column.

It is expected that Kirby Halcrow will get the start tonight after bringing home silver from the World Junior A Challenge as the backup goaltender to Sean Bonar for Team Canada West. As for Wes McLeod he is feeling much better today and after putting up a four point night in Williams Lake on Tuesday, that is definitly a good thing for Prince George. Kyle Nielsen is expected to get the start for the Spruce Kings with Steve Papciak still nursing a "skate bite" injury on his ankly. Papciak meanwhile will be adding some colour to tonight's broadcast as he joins myself for the play-by-play of the game beginning at 7:15pm with the pregame show and opening faceoff at 7:30pm.

Game 24 - at Williams Lake Timberwolves

Game Preview ...

The Spruce Kings take on the Timberwolves for the fourth of five times in Williams Lake during the regular season. Prince George will be looking to leave a lasting impression on their Interior Division rivals as they won't play each other again until February 3rd. The Spruce Kings are coming off a come-from-behind victory over Williams Lake on Saturday night after a 6-3 win on home ice. The next day the Timberwolves had to limp back into their own barn to host the league leading Vernon Vipers and were shutout 6-0. That loss turned into the straw that cost the T'Wolves coach his job.

After suffering three losses, that started on Friday night, the Timberwolves ownership group made the decision to terminate Dave Dupas and give the head coaching duties to Jason Wright. The move has been viewed as a surprising one by some who believed that the Timberwolves were showing signs of coming on and proving the nay-sayers wrong about not being able to compete at the Junior 'A' level. Timberwolves general manager Geoff Murdoch claims that the team wasn't staying the course and that was what led to the changing of the bench bosses.

Meanwhile the Spruce Kings averted disaster themselves with that Saturday night win over the Timberwolves. The Spruce Kings had been failing to put away their opposition when they had late game leads and had come up with a less than stellar performance in a 4-1 loss to the Quesnel Millionaires. That all seemed to change on Friday night when the Spruce Kings put in a solid effort for a full sixty minutes and were able to capitalize on the few mistakes that the Vernon Vipers made. The league's best team still left with two points, but the Spruce Kings were left with a belief that they could have won that game had their been just a little bit of puck luck on their side.

That puck luck manifested itself on Saturday at the expense of the Timberwolves when the Spruce Kings pressed on a delayed penalty call and were able to get a shot through to the net that counted. Everybody in the building, except the referee, thought that the Timberwolves touched the puck at least twice before Bourke ultimately buried the game winning goal. That shot became a turn of fortunes and injected a shot of much needed confidence into the entire team.

The Spruce Kings will get two more boosts on the backend tonight as Wes McLeod and Josh Pineiro will both be back in the lineup. McLeod, who had missed a total of five games, is back from his all star performance at the World Junior A Challenge with a silver medal. Pineiro, who missed out the last four games with an undisclosed upper body injury, will also be back in the lineup and once again paired up with McLeod on the blue line. Unfortunately I don't expect to see either on the ice as much as they had previously. The intense travel and game schedule of the WJAC has caught up with Wes and he isn't feeling well. As for Josh, he has been practicing for the past two days but has been taking it easy and will be watching to make sure he doesn't reaggrivate his injury.

Perhaps the recent confidence boosters will help to keep the momentum moving upwards for the Spruce Kings with players like Brad Bourke and Joe Morgan getting the job done. Other players coming off great weekends include RJay Berra, Nick DeSousa, Zac Rasmussen, Jonathan Gibson and Jeff Earnest as well as the usuals like top line of Lyndon Martell, Brooks Robinson and Sam Muchalla. By the way, Kyle Nielsen will get the start tonight and affiliate player Bowman Rutledge will be the backup tonight with Steve Papciak nursing a minor injury. Papciak made the trip with the team and will be in the stands watching the game.

Game time tonight is 7:30 from the Cariboo Community Complex and can be heard live on 93.1 CFIS-FM as well as online from the Spruce Kings website by clicking on the CFIS-FM Listen Live link. The Spruce Kings will also be on the road Friday night in Quesnel to take on the Millionaires before returning home to host the Salmon Arm SIlverbacks in a matinee affair at the Prince George Coliseum Sunday afternoon at 3:00pm.

More Than a Medal and Some Souvenirs

After missing five regular season games with the Spruce Kings while away representing Canada West at the World Junior 'A' Challenge, Wes McLeod has come back with a new attitude and a new approach to the game. I had a chance to sit down with Wes on Monday night just a few hours after he touched down back in Prince George. We looked through some of his souvenirs and talked a little bit about his experience in Summerside and then started looking ahead to rest of the BCHL season.

When I first arrived at his place, Wes was preparing for Tuesday and a game day with the Spruce Kings by getting his gear sorted. A long time friend growing up and playing hockey together, Zac Rasmussen also stopped by for a visit. The two looked through some souvenirs that came home including the official Hockey Canada magazine and tournament program. There were also some pictures of Wes taken at the event. But of course the big items were his Team Canada jersey, silver medal and WJAC All Star Defenceman plague.

One thing I have noticed about Wes McLeod this season is that he plays with a lot more edge, that edge may have gotten even rougher after this most recent trip out east. Which was his second trip to Summerside after going there last season to play in the CJAHL Prospect's Game. To say that Wes had a good tournament would be an understatement as the nineteen year old defenceman was selected to be an assistant captain and played as the first line pairing on the blue line with fellow BCHL'er - Mat Bodie.

Wes McLeod was a major contributor for his team finishing 11th in tournament scoring with five assists, including a record tying four assists in one game. With more than his fair share of playing minutes every game and his edgy physical play in an international tournament, penalties become the risk but Wes was able to get the job done and was only handed one minor penalty. The infraction was called late in the third period of the first game against the Russian team during the round robin portion of the tournament.

Some twenty four hours after the final whistle to end the tournament, Canada West picked up their second silver medal after suffering a 2-1 regulation time loss to the Americans. It was the second year in a row that the Americans prevented Canada West from claiming the championship. Although gold was only a shot away, the team comprised of Junior 'A' players from the five leagues in Western Canada is still the only team to have played in all four gold medal games.

Playing in that gold medal game is an experience that Wes McLeod won't soon forget as he ranks that one at the very top of his list of accomplishments to date in his hockey career. Something tells me that this won't be the last time we see or hear from Wes McLeod playing at an elite level in the game that is so much a part of our social and cultural fibre.

As I mentioned I had a chance to sit down with Wes and was able to congratulate him on his contributions at the World Junior 'A' Hockey Challenge.
