SPRUCE KINGS TEST OUT CN CENTRE

PRINCE GEORGE – The Prince George Spruce Kings will be trying out a new venue when they host the Nanaimo Clippers February 23rd and the Quesnel Millionaires February 24th as these games will take place at the spacious CN Centre in Prince George.

The Spruce Kings will host the 2007 RBC Royal Bank Cup in May and all games are slated for the CN Centre, a larger and more modern venue than the Kings current home - the Prince George Coliseum.  These games will give the Kings staff and tournament committee the opportunity to get up to speed on the workings of the building and be provide experience for off-ice officials and broadcasting parties.

The Kings plan to launch an agressive marketing campaign for these upcoming games as the CN Centre is a much larger venue than the Coliseum and they are looking for a big crowd on these nights.

For more information or tickets, please contact the Prince George Spruce Kings at 250-564-1747.
