The first-round playoff matchup is already booked, but this weekend will still be key for the West 麻豆精选 Warriors to finish off the regular season strong.
Tonight (March 25), the Warriors face a big test in Penticton to take on the Vees. Penticton has clinched the best record of the BCHL regular season with a record of 42-8-0-2 (86 points) with two games to go.
However, it won鈥檛 be a cakewalk for the league鈥檚 top squad - the Warriors have won eight games in a row going into tonight鈥檚 action.
In a 鈥榯ale of two teams鈥� scenario, the Warriors then take on the bottom-dwelling Merritt Centennials on Saturday (March 26) night to finish off the regular season. Merritt is 3-44-2-2 (10 points) on the season.
Going into the weekend, the Warriors are locked into third in the Interior as they are 35-16-1-0 (71 points). It has already been determined that the Warriors will face the Vernon Vipers in the first round. The first round playoff series begins on Friday, April 1.
Tonight鈥檚 game against Penticton takes place at the South Okanagan Events Centre at 7 p.m. On Saturday, the game takes place at the Royal LePage Arena in West 麻豆精选. Puck drop is at 7 p.m.
