The off-season is in full swing for the West Kelowna Warriors.
The BCHL team was eliminated from the firs round of the playoffs in early March, and rearrangements to the roster have begun. With players committing to universities and different leagues, the Warriors have signed prospect John Evans in one of their first moves of the off-season.
