The West Âé¶¹AV Warriors are making the trip up Highway 97 to take on the Vernon Vipers tonight (Wed. March 9).

Going into tonight’s contest, West Âé¶¹AV is third in the Interior division with a 29-16-1-0 record (59 points). Vernon is fifth with a record of 23-17-4-3 (53 points).

The difference in goal differential between the two squads, however, is substantial: Warriors +43, Vipers -4.

Both teams have already clinched their playoff spots.

The season series has been very evenly matched. Both teams have served each other 5-1 wins, while the Warriors won the last matchup 4-3.

Tonight is the second-last matchup between these two teams this regular season. They will also meet on Mar. 20 for a 2:30 p.m. puck drop at Royal LePage Arena.

Both teams have won four of their last five games. West Âé¶¹AV’s last win came last Saturday on ‘Peachland Night’ against Prince George. Vernon’s last win was a 9-0 thumping of Merritt, also last Saturday night.

Puck drop for tonight’s game is at 7 p.m. at Kal Tire Place.
