Spruce Kings trade goalie

by Jason Peters of the Prince George Citizen

The Spruce Kings replaced Mainprize with 17-year-old Kevin Genoe, who began the season with the Alberni Valley Bulldogs.

Heading into Tuesday games, only two teams in the BCHL (Quesnel and Alberni Valley) had scored fewer goals than the Kings. And, on the flip side, only four clubs (Merritt, Surrey, Langley and Alberni Valley) had allowed more goals against. So, a future pickup from Merritt could address either offensive or defensive issues.

BCHL teams get 25 player cards. On or before Dec. 1, they must declare how many warm bodies and how many cards they are going to take into the Jan. 10 trade deadline.

For example: “You could go with 20 (players) and five (cards), or 21 and four, depending on how many moves you think you’re going to make at the trading deadline,” Dempsey said. “You can go 23 and two if you want, but that doesn’t leave you much leeway (for trade deadline additions).”
