Spruce Kings Acquire Bilic
The Prince George Spruce Kings have acquired the BCHL playing rights of goaltender Marko Bilic (06) from the Vernon Vipers in exchange for future considerations.
Bilic is 6’3, 185 pounds from Toronto Ontario who split time last season with the Vipers and the Maryland Black Bears of the NAHL. In 14 BCHL games, Bilic had a 3-8-1 record with a 3.52 GAA and .895 Save %.
During his time with Maryland, he put up a 8-4-1 record with a 2.44 GAA and .901 Save %. He also made 4 playoff appearances. Bilic is committed to Arizona State University.
Spruce Kings General Manager Mike Hawes: “Marko is a goalie that we have been interested in for a quite a while. I’m glad we were finally able to acquire him. He will come in and help solidify that position for us while creating healthy competition among our three goalies as they push each other for the net.”
To make room on the roster, the Spruce Kings have released goaltender Ben Polhill. The Spruce Kings would like to thank Ben for his contributions to the hockey club and the Prince George Community.
The Spruce Kings welcome the Chilliwack Chiefs for a pair of games this weekend at Kopar Memorial Arena. Friday’s faceoff is at 7:00 pm, while Saturday is at 6:00 pm. Tickets available online at https://www.showpass.com/prince-george-spruce-kings-2025-2026-season/
