Cents suffer first pre-season loss to Grizzlies

It may be only mid-September, but the Revelstoke Grizzlies look to be in mid-season form.

The Grizzlies are 5-0 this preseason after a 7-2 win over the Merritt Centennials on Thursday night at the Nicola Valley Memorial Arena. The Centennials’ record this pre-season is 2-1.

Dayton Abbott had two goals and three assists for the Grizzlies, who were a last-minute replacement for the Quesnel River Rush, who were unable to make the journey due to transportation issues.

Troy Horn and Zach King scored for the Cents, who are back in action Friday night when the Kamloops Storm visit the NVMA for a 7 p.m. contest. Admission is just a donation.
