The Spruce Kings are coming off a 2-1 shootout loss against the Vernon Vipers on Wednesday night at the RMCA. Despite throwing 40 shots towards goaltender Riley Herbst, the Spruce Kings were only able to muster one goal past the American goaltender. Preston Brodziak had the lone goal for the Spruce Kings who now has the team lead in goals with nine. Andrew Seaman has put some very good games together as of late. He may have only gotten one assist in these last couple games, but he has had some great chances and looks. Seaman says he likes the way he has been playing, but knows there is more work to do…
“I have been feeling pretty good as of late. I feel that these past games have been pretty fast which suits my style of play. I feel we have had some great chances, but hopefully we can execute a little bit more” says Seaman.
THEM
The Capitals are coming off a 6-2 win against the West Kelowna Warriors at the Cowichan Community Centre in Duncan. Tanner Sidaway had two goals of the six from Cowichan.

Wilson currently sits with 27 points in 24 games this year. Crasa leads the Caps in goals with 14.
