Let's take a look at the West Kelowna Warriors:

The 7-4-0-1 West Kelowna Warriors are coming off a 3-1 victory over the visiting Salmon Arm Silverbacks November 7th. The Warriors swept last weekend's home & home series with the Gorillas. Tonight is the fifth pre-season meeting of the year vs Vernon with the Tribe winning all previous four games over the Vipers. The last time these two teams met, the Warriors won 4-3 in overtime October 24th at Royal Le Page Place. Tyler Cristall has returned from the USHL to re-join the Warriors, while Matthew Stienburg is out for the remainder of 2020 with an injury.
