Exhibition Game #2 - Pregame

Here we are in Smithers, it was a nice drive through a very scenic area of the province to find ourselves in the Bulkley Valley at the base of the Hudson Bay Mountain. Unfortunately some technical difficulties has created an expected situation preventing the broadcast of the game back to Prince George on 93.1 CFIS-FM.

The two teams are on the ice now taking their warmup skate. Quesnel is the home team wearing their blues. Prince George is the visiting team wearing their third jerseys from last season. (hint: look for some new jerseys to be unveiled for the home opener on September 11th).

Both teams are going with a more veteran squad tonight. The big name on the roster for Quesnel is Trevor Hertz but also includes returnees Rylan Stanyer, Sam Higgins, Justin Sotkowy, Brett Howe and also their two goal scorer from last night - Lucas Ford. The Spruce Kings have Wes McLeod, RJay Berra, Brooks Robinson, Joe Morgan, Nick DeSousa, Andrew Pickering and Sam Muchalla on the roster.

Opening faceoff is scheduled for 7:05 as residents of Smithers continue to file into the Civic Arena.
