MERRITT — The Merritt Centennials’ 51-year tenure in the junior A B.C. Hockey League came to an end on Saturday (April 13) at the Nicola Valley Memorial Arena.
Cole Cooksey had two goals for the Salmon Arm Silverbacks in a 4-1 win over the Cents, helping the club secure a 4-2 victory in the Round 1 post-season series.
The Centennials have ceased operation in the BCHL.
A new Merritt franchise will begin play next season in the junior A tier 2 Kootenay International Junior Hockey League.
