- An impressive weekend for the Kings has them climbing the national rankings. The CJHL came out with it's weekly rankings and Powell River climbed 6 spots to 4th in the country. The only other BCHL team to crack the Top 20 is Penticton who sits 18th.
- The wins over Cowichan Valley and Nanaimo give the Kings a 5 point lead a top of the BCHL standings and a 6 point cushion in the Coastal Conference. The Kings also sport the best winning percentage which sits at .783.
- Could Matt Garbowsky be the First King to receive Player of the Week honours? The 20 year-old collected 4 goals and 1 assist in two games. The goal surge vaulted Garbowsky to first in team scoring with 13. He will be up against stiff competition.
- How hot are the Kings? Powell River is riding a 5 game winning streak and is 9-1 in their last ten games. They own the second best home and road records too.
- Sean Maguire is quite the revelation in goal for Powell River. The 17 year-old earned his second consecutive shutout in as many starts on Saturday. The lanky netminder stopped all 31 shots he faced including an extended 6 on 3 late in the game when Nanaimo pulled their goaltender.
