The West Kelowna Warriors hit the ice on Saturday night against their rivals, the Penticton Vees, but not before paying tribute to a former teammate.
Before the game at Royal LePage Place in West Kelowna, the team honoured Parm Dhaliwal, who was found dead in a New York City hotel on July 30. He was a member of the Warriors from 2016-2019.
Many members of the Dhaliwal family were in attendance, with Parmsa国际传媒檚 mom, dad, and brother on the ice for the pregame tribute.
A video was played for the crowd filled with photos of Dhaliwal and countless highlights from his time with the Warriors. At the end of the video, former Warriors broadcaster Chase Johnston spoke, saying sa国际传媒淓very team in the BCHL wanted a Parm on their team.sa国际传媒�
