Cranbrook Bucks set to play first BCHL home games this weekend

Renovations are now complete at Western Financial Place, giving the Bucks the opportunity to host Games 4 and 5 of the pre-season Kootenay Cup against the Trail Smoke Eaters.

Western Financial Place underwent major renovations this summer and fall, including a new roof over the arena, a new ice chiller, a new video scoreboard, a fresh coat of paint, and new boards and glass. Now all complete, the facility is ready and open to welcome the Bucks and Smoke Eaters this weekend.

Unfortunately due to COVID-19, fans are not allowed in attendance, but the game can be streamed online with a subscription to HockeyTV.

Game 4 and 5 of the Kootenay Cup will hit the ice at Cranbrook’s Western Financial Place at 7:00 pm on Friday and Saturday.
