The four-plus days of hockey action will be watched by upwards of 150 scouts from the college hockey and pro ranks.
West Kelowna is now done at the showcase while the rest of the tournament continues until Sunday.
The Warriors now return home to begin a five game homestand at Royal LePage Place in West Kelowna. The Warriors will host Merritt on Tuesday and Penticton on Saturday as the team gets set for an extended amount of time on home ice, playing six of its next seven games in front of the home crowd.
