The Warriors won both games last weekend, with a big victory over Trail and a double overtime win in Salmon Arm as Jake Harrison supplied the winner. The Warriors are 5-1 in 2016, and play six more times in the month of January, including tonight.
Jonathan Desbiens has five goals over his last three games, while Liam Blackburn has 14 points during an eight-game point streak. Each player has five points against the Vipers this season.
The Warriors have beaten Andrew Shortridge twice, and Brendan Barry once this season, and no word as of yet who is getting the start tonight. Shortridge missed last weekends action with an injury. Matthew Greenfield allowed just a pair of goals when he beat Vernon two weeks ago.
The Warriors were banged up last weekend as well, but Rylan Yaremko returned Monday against Red Bull Salzburg. Garrett Forster and Jake LeBrun were the scratches.
After tonight, West Kelowna hosts Chilliwack tomorrow at Royal LePage Place, where a lucky fan will have a chance in the T-Rex TEN GRAND SHOOTOUT in the second intermission.
Next week, the Warriors will begin seven straight games on the road, putting 2,636 kilometres on the bus over a 10-day period, plus a trip to Penticton to wrap it up on February 12th. West Kelowna plays four of their last five at home.
