KAMLOOPS — After winning the first two games on the road the Merritt Centennials will look to put the defending RBC Cup champion West Kelowna Warriors on the ropes tonight when they host game three in the first round B.C. Hockey League playoff series.

The Centennials took game one 6-5 and then followed with a 5-4 triple overtime win in game two.

Tyler Ward, who is from Kamloops, had four goals and two assists in the first two games to lead the B.C. League in playoff scoring.

Ward is the grandson of four time B.C. men’s curling champion Barry McPhee.
