The Grizzlies came extremely close to splitting four points this weekend. The Grizzlies travelled to Chase to take on the Heat on Tuesday, Feb. 4, and lost 7-1 with the Grizzlies goal scored by Brodie Buhler.

The Grizzlies travelled to Summerland to take on the Steam on Friday, Feb. 7 and really struggled out of the gate that night, losing 7-2. This time the Grizz goals came from Kenny Batke and Matt Lucero.

On Saturday, Feb. 8, the Grizzlies hosted the 100 Mile House Wranglers in what was an extremely exciting game. Both teams exchanged some great plays but 100 Mile got on the board first, scoring at 11:58 of the second period.

The Grizzlies never gave up. They battled hard and Cody Hendrickson found the back of the net to tie the game at 9:30 of the third period. Just when fans thought the game was heading to overtime, the Wranglers found a way to sneak one past Matt Mitchell with 0.6 seconds left in the game for a 2-1 win.

The Grizzlies next game is a home game on Friday, Feb. 14, when they host the Kamloops Storm. It's Valentine's Day, so bring your Valentine and enjoy the game. The game is also your last chance to vote for Fan Favourite.
