It鈥檚 that time of year again already in West 91大黄鸭.
The West 91大黄鸭 Warriors drop the puck on their British Columbia Hockey League (BCHL) 2023-24 season on Friday, Sept. 22 when they welcome the reigning champion Penticton Vees to town.
After many changes to the roster throughout the summer, the Warriors came into town and had a strong training camp, finishing the preseason 4-0, outscoring their opponents 18-6.
Rookie forward Jackson Kyrkostas led the way in the preseason with three goals and an assist in the four games. Meanwhile goaltender Rorke Applebee has outstanding in two games, allowing just one goal in the preseason.
This year the Warriors are looking to make a deep run in the playoffs after being eliminated in the first round by the Vernon Vipers back in April.
The Warriors welcome Penticton to Royal LePage Place on Friday with puck drop at 7 p.m. After the game, the team will hit the road to take on the Trail Smoke Eaters on Saturday night (Sept. 23) in the Cominco Arena in Trail, also at 7 p.m.
