Warriors to host Feed the Valley night, Saturday

-

The West Kelowna Warriors are set to begin a five-game home stand to conclude their home schedule in the regular season as they host the Prince George Spruce Kings and Coquitlam Express on Friday and Saturday at Royal LePage Place.

The Warriors, currently sitting in 3rd place in the Interior Conference standings, will host five consecutiv­e home games before finishing out the season in Salmon Arm on Saturday, March 25. This weekend begins an important stretch towards the playoffs for West Kelowna, who are in a fight for positionin­g and hoping to secure home ice in the opening round.

Friday night will see the Prince George Spruce Kings make their way to the Central Okanagan in the final game of the season series between the two sides. Prince George sits just four points behind the Warriors in the standings with the game being an important one in the community as it is the annual Feed The Valley night, presented by Valley First.

Feed The Valley is an operation that has been taking place since 2010, an innovative community partnershi­p aimed at tackling hunger in the Okanagan, Similkamee­n and Thompson Valleys. Fans are encouraged to bring a nonperisha­ble food item to the game on Friday night and help us Feed the Valley.

The weekend continues on Saturday night as the Warriors see the Coquitlam Express come to town in the team’s only meeting throughout the season. The Express are making their first visit to RLP since Jan. 3, 2020 as that was also the last matchup these two teams had.

Puck drop for each of Friday and Saturday night will take place at 7 p.m. at RLP with tickets available for purchase on the Warriors website and in-person at the Warriors Office as well as at the Box Office on game day.

Playoff ticket packages are now available for purchase ahead of the 2023 Warriors playoffs. Packages are priced at $128/adult, $104/seniors and students and $64/child and based on an eight-game basis. Packages are available until Friday, March 10.
