December 12th @ Nanaimo PREVIEW

The West Kelowna Warriors continue their 3-game island swing in Nanaimo tonight for a 6 pm start from the Frank Crane Arena.

The two teams are going opposite directions at the moment, as the Clippers are riding a hot 10-game winning streak, while West Kelowna has lost 3 in a row.

When you look at the first meeting of the season between these two on November 8th, they have gone completely opposite directions since that game. The Clippers have an 11-1 record since the 7-4 loss, while the Warriors have gone 5-7 since the victory.

Sheldon Rempal is the player to watch for the Clippers, as his 69 points is tops in the BCHL. He recently scored 5 in a game, and sits with 35 G through just 33 games. The BCHL has seen only two 50-goal scorers since 2009/2010, as Mitch McMillan (61) that season, and Corey Mackin (50) last season are the only two. Rempal is on pace for 62 (rounding up).

Keelan Williams will get the start for West Kelowna, while Sol Seibel will make his BCHL debut on defense wearing #5.
