WARRIORS TALK ABOUT OVERCOMING CHALLENGES AT JOHN CHISHOLM
Spencer Edwards, Quinton Howden and Jesse Paradis spoke about overcoming challenges for their monthly visit at John Chisholm Alternative School last week.

WARRIORS PROMOTE HEALTH AND WELLNESS AT PUBLIC SKATE
Five Warriors tied up their skates to benefit the health and wellness of our local community Wednesday night. The players took to the ice with many Moose Javians of all ages who attended public skating to encourage families and citizens to get up and get moving!


WARRIORS FACE TOUGH WEEKEND AGAINST TOP TEAMS OF THE EAST
The Warriors will be heading into Alberta this weekend for two tough games. The first will land the tribe in Red Deer, a team the Warriors are still looking to steal 2 points from. The Warriors have had a difficult time scoring on one of the leagues best goal tenders in Darcy Kuemper.

The Warriors will continue onto Medicine Hat Saturday night for a cage fight with the Tigers. The Warriors and Tigers have been battling for the 4th spot in the Eastern Conference and a win Saturday night would be advantageous as the Warriors look to pursue a top four finish come March.

Listen to both games with the voice of the Warriors, James Gallo as he broadcasts the games in fine fashion from Red Deer and Medicine Hat.
