PREVIEW: The Merritt Centennials, (12-13-2-1), take on the Wenatchee Wild, (20-8-2-1), tomorrow night at home.

 

The last time that the Centennials and Wild met was way back on October 14th down in Wenatchee WA when the Cents beat the Wild 3-2. The Cents opened up the scoring in that game, just 3:17 in thanks to Ashton Stockie. Other goals hailed from Zach Zorn and Tyrell Buckley. Jake Berger got the win, turning away 45 shots. The Cents got outshot that game 48-20.

 

The Wild are coming off of a 7-4 victory over the Trail Smoke Eaters, (19-10-2-0) on Wednesday. The Centennials are also coming off of a win, a 4-0 victory, also over the Smokies. That game saw goals from Christian Sabin, Chase Bell, and Zach Zorn had two. Berger turned away 41 shots, earning his second shutout of the season.

 

Leading scorer Henry Cleghorn didn’t get any goals that game, but walked away with an assist. Cleghorn leads the team in goals and points, 11 goals and 26 points total. Cleghorn is in his third season with the Centennials.

 

You can catch the game down at the Nicola Valley Memorial Arena at 7 tomorrow night, or listen live on Q101 with Jared Thomas. Pre-game goes at 6:45.

 

It’s also teddy bear toss night so don’t forget your teddy bears for when the Cents score their first goal of the game!
