Nov 26th @ Wenatchee PREVIEW

The West Kelowna Warriors make their 1st trip south of the border today as they visit the Wild at the Town Toyota Center tonight at 7:05 PM.

The Warriors were the first team to defeat the Wild in BCHL action, with a 4-1 victory at Royal Lepage Place back on October 3rd.

It is Thanksgiving here in the "Apple Capital of the World", and the Warriors will be playing in a high energy atmosphere, where the Wild have the largest average attendance so far this season at 2850.

The Wild are lead by speedster Brendan Harris (7 G, 20 A) and goaltender Chase Perry. The numbers from Perry have actually declined from the start of the year, but he still sports a very good 2.27 GAA and a .903 Sv%. Garrett Nieto has done well as the backup, going 4-1 with a 2.01 GAA and a .919 Sv%.

The Warriors went 2-1 last week as they defeated Prince George and Vernon, before falling 10-5 to Alberni Valley on Saturday night. The Saturday defeat definitely hurt, as West Kelowna found themselves down 7-1 at one point. It was just one of those nights, and Rylan Ferster felt that his team competed from start to finish and he didn't have a problem with the effort level.
