Although they didn’t get the result they wanted, the West Kelowna Warriors had to be happy with how things went on Family Day.
Nearly 1,500 people packed into Royal LePage Place to watch the team take on the Trail Smoke Eaters.
Although it ended in a 5-2 loss, it was the biggest crowd of the season for the Warriors.
Smoke Eaters win 5-2. Matteo Paler Chow with 31 saves and Kent Johnson with his 6th straight multi point game inside Royal LePage Place seals it. Warriors back at it with a double header with Vernon Friday

Thank you to the 1400+ fans that came out to this afternoon's family day game. That's the largest crowd of the season and 2nd straight game with 1000+ in attendance. RLP was loud and proud today!

Holden Kodak got the crowd into it early, opening the scoring for West Kelowna just 2:39 into the game.
Matt Osadick would tie it up later on in the first period before Owen Ozar and Chase Dafoe extended the lead to 3-1 in the middle frame.
Brendan Pigeon got the Warriors back to within one in the third period, but Ozar’s second of the game restored the two goal lead before Jaden Senkoe sealed it with four minutes to play.
Fans also got a great glimpse at Kent Johnson on Monday, as the likely top-10 pick in the 2021 NHL entry draft got three assists to hit both 60 assists and 100 points on the season.
The Port Moody native will head to the University of Michigan to play hockey next season.
