Selkirk Saints Welcome Thompson Rivers University for Double Header

The Saints hockey team will complete the regular season with a four game home stand over the next two weekends.

First up for the Saints is the expansion team from Thompson Rivers University (TRU) who have proven to be very strong in their first BCIHL season. Currently sitting in second place, TRU has become a top contender for the BCIHL Championships slated to run mid-March. The Saints hope for some redemption as the last time the teams met, TRU’s home ice advantage allowed them to sweep the series in convincing fashion.

The Saints will then host Okanagan College (OC), another expansion team, the following weekend. The Saints were able to put together two great games against OC when they traveled to Kelowna in the first half of the season. Although they lost both by very narrow margins it was clear this could be a rivalry in the making.

Game dates and times are as follows:

• Feb 20 vs. Thompson Rivers,  4:00 pm @ Castlegar Complex
• Feb 21 vs. Thompson Rivers, 10:00 am @ Castlegar Complex
• Feb 27 vs. Okanagan College, 7:30 pm @ Castlegar Complex
• Feb 28 vs. Okanagan College, 10:00 am @ Castlegar Complex
