GAME PREVIEW - Centennials vs. Warriors - October 4th

The West Kelowna Warriors return home on Saturday night for a battle with the Merritt Centennials. Merritt shut out Vernon on Friday night, but may have lost starter Jonah Imoo in the process. Anthony Pupplo is a very capable backup and a formidable goaltender that will test the Warriors as well.

West Kelowna's come from behind victory on Tuesday vs. Coquitlam should lead to confidence as they get set for this one. Merritt though has a 100% penalty kill and a 3rd ranked PP. They have also allowed the fewest goals in the BCHL so far through 5 games.  It's always fun when a high octane offence goes up against a solid defense.
