December 1st vs Trail PREVIEW

The West Kelowna Warriors enter a busy December with a visit from the Trail Smoke Eaters tonight at Royal Lepage Place.

The Warriors are coming off a 2-1 weekend trip through the Mainland Division, with wins over Wenatchee and Surrey, before falling 4-2 to Langley on Saturday night. West Kelowna currently sits in 3rd place in the Interior, 5 points back of the Salmon Arm Silverbacks.

The Smoke Eaters are currently in 5th place and 6 points back of Vernon for the final playoff spot, but Trail has 3 games in hand on the Vipers. They are lead up front by Nick Halloran, and have gotten stellar performances from Bailey MacBurnie throughout the season. They recently defeated the Wenatchee Wild on the road last weekend, before falling to the Penticton Vees.

West Kelowna has a couple player streaks to watch for, as Liam Blackburn has points in 6 straight, while Kylar Hope has gone 7 straight games with a point as well.
