For the fourth consecutive season, the West 麻豆精选 Warriors are changing their name to the Peachland Warriors for a night to celebrate their neighbours down the highway.
As they welcome the Salmon Arm Silverbacks (19-10-6-0) to Royal LePage Place on Friday, Jan. 24, the team will be wearing specialty Peachland Warriors jerseys. And for the first time since the tradition began, the team has changed up the jerseys.
Instead of the familiar peach-coloured jerseys with black trim, the team revealed new white jerseys with the peach colour as the trim.
鈥淲e are excited to celebrate Peachland on the 24th,鈥� said Warriors President Chris Laurie. 鈥淚t鈥檚 a special event for us that shines a light on our wonderful neighbours to the south. We look forward to representing Peachland once again!鈥�
Throughout the week, the team visited Peachland Elementary School and gave out free tickets to the game.
Going into the weekend, the Warriors are 13-15-5-2, seventh in the Interior Conference.
Friday night's puck drop is at 7 p.m.
The following night, the team remains at home as they welcome the Sherwood Park Crusaders (22-12-0-0) to town. Puck drop is also at 7 p.m.
