This weekend the West Kelowna Warriors are back in action, while the Kelowna Rockets look to get back in the win column.
Kelowna Rockets
After playing three games last weekend, the Kelowna Rockets are taking on the Vancouver Giants for a home-and-home series.
The two teams played a home-and-home series last weekend, which resulted in a Rockets 4-1 win on the road and a Giants 4-3 win in Kelowna. The Rockets also fell to Victoria last Sunday.
Going into the weekend, the Rockets sit eighth in the WHL’s Western Conference standing with a record of 14-25-3-0. The Rockets are 2-8 in their last 10 games.
Vancouver sits in seventh place, but nine points ahead of Kelowna in the standings with a record of 17-20-4-2.

West Kelowna Warriors
After a huge 4-3 win at home on Wednesday night against Merritt, the West Kelowna Warriors are on the road this weekend for two big games.
On Friday night, the Warriors take on the Cranbrook Bucks. In the standings, the Warriors (21-10-4-0) sit in third place in the BCHL’s Interior conference but just three points behind Cranbrook (24-10-1-0). A win in regulation would bring the warriors within one point of Cranbrook.
