Prince George came into Coquitlam needing two points, and they indeed left with their prize. From opening faceoff to final whistle the Spruce Kings were the more desperate team and played with an edge that the Express struggled to match when push came to shove. The game was fairly even in the shot department but […]
Four games left. That is what remains of the regular season as the Express prepare for war with Prince George tonight at the Poirier. Coming into tonight there also still remains a three-way tie for third place with precious few points separating second from third and then fifth from seventh. Every game is huge and […]
Coquitlam kicked off their three-game weekend on the right foot as they dispatched the Spruce Kings by a score of 4-1. Most of this contest was close until the final few minutes of regulation so kudos to the Express on playing with a defensive purpose that is starting to become more regular. Jeff Wagner talked […]
For the third time this month the Spruce Kings and Express will wage war. The previous two meetings went 3-2 Prince George, one in overtime, the other in regulation. Safe to say that the Express will be bent on getting revenge on home ice. They will have to deal with a heavily motivated Spruce Kings […]
One of the best parts of a doubleheader weekend is that if things go wrong the first night, you don’t have to wait long to make amends. Coquitlam faltered in their execution on Friday and it was a tough pill to swallow for a team that was feeling good on a two-game win streak. The […]

Hockey may be a 60-minute game but every once in a while a singular bad period is all it takes to delineate victory from defeat. That is exactly what happened to the Coquitlam Express tonight as they got run out of the building in the opening 20 minutes and then woke up to play extremely […]
The battle at the Poirier Sports and Leisure Complex tonight will be far greater than what is on the ice. Cancer is a disease with immeasurable impacts on us all. It comes in many shapes and forms but the way it alters lives is undeniable. Tonight, the Express are painting the rink purple and raising […]
The Express held onto their winning ways with a convincing victory at Kopar Memorial Arena Saturday night. The pressure was on to keep the momentum moving forward and they accomplished that in spades. The Spruce Kings put up a valiant effort and pushed the pace early but Coquitlam’s defence and timely offence ground them down […]
