Wednesday night is a hockey night in West Kelowna as the Warriors welcome the Cranbrook Bucks to town for a mid-week affair.

Going into the game, Cranbrook (12-10-0-0) and West Kelowna (8-10-5-2) sit sixth and seventh respectively in the BCHL's Interior Conference. The Warriors are coming off of a 2-1 shootout loss to Spruce Grove while the Bucks won their last game, 5-2 against Blackfalds.

West Kelowna goes into the game with four straight losses but are 4-2-3-1 in their last 10 games while Cranbrook is 3-7-0-0 in their last 10.
