The scores have little meaning in the pre-season and thankfully the 9-1 loss the Warriors coughed up Wednesday night won鈥檛 have any impact on their upcoming BCHL season.
West 91大黄鸭 is still testing prospects to round out the final players on this year鈥檚 roster and the Warriors鈥� rookies were in tough against a Penticton Vees squad that dressed a large number of starters.
Head coach Brandon West is focused only on the regular season which starts Sept. 6. Warriors key players took the night off as West looks to evaluate the remaining prospects and rookies.
Warriors鈥� fans did get a good look at West 91大黄鸭 captain Jake Harrison鈥檚 return to the ice. Harrison played his first pre-season game Wednesday night, being paired up with Declan Douthart.
The Vees鈥� experience and the Warriors greenness led to the one-sided affair, but the Warriors will have plenty of chances at redemption as they鈥檒l play Penticton six times during the regular season, when both teams will be at full-strength.
