There are two other local KIJHL contests over the weekend.
One pits the Ghostriders against the Thunder Cats. Serving as a makeup game from October 23rd, the Ghostriders are set to host the contest at Fernie Memorial Arena at 1:00 pm on Saturday.
Creston then completes their three-game schedule in as many days on Sunday with a journey back home to host the Kimberley Dynamiters. Both teams are set to drop the puck at 3:00 pm at Johnny Bucyk Arena.
Following this weekend’s exhibition action, teams will have just one more weekend of pre-season play before the KIJHL regular season opens November 13th.
