BCHL 2026 Road Show: Burns Lake

The Prince George Spruce Kings are returning to Burns Lake to play a pair of regular season games at the Tom Forsyth Arena.

This is part of the BCHL’s Road Show series in partnership with the Lake Babine Nation which last visited Burns Lake in 2023.

“The 2023 event was a huge success, with a sellout both games, so it was an easy decision to return,” said BCHL Commissioner Steven Cocker.

The two games will be played February 14th and 15th against the Coquitlam Express.

“This event is a great vehicle for a better understanding of sporting events,” said Chief Wilfred Adams.

“It shows what is possible for our young people to achieve and serves as a beacon of excellence in sports to foster a better relationship between members and sporting organizations.”

Along with the two games, players and staff will be making schol visits, hosting community events, and hosting a traditional feast with the First Nation.

“It brought our community together, inspired our youth and showcased our vibrant spirit to visitors from across the province,” said Burns Lake Mayor Henry Wiebe.

“Events like this remind us of the power of sport to unite, energize and create lasting memories.”
