Here’s what’s going on around the Kelowna sports scene this upcoming weekend:
Okanagan Sun
For the second time in three seasons, the Okanagan Sun are trying to bring home their fourth Canadian Junior Football League (CJFL) title on Sunday, Oct. 27.
The team travelled to Regina, SK to take on the Regina Thunder, a rematch of the 2022 CJFL finals, in which the Sun won 21-19.
Going into the last game of the season, the Sun remains undefeated on the year. They beat the Westshore Rebels 23-17 on Saturday, Oct. 19 to win the BCFC title.
Meanwhile, the Thunder, who finished the regular season 6-2, upset the Saskatoon Hilltops 24-19 in the Prairie Conference finals.
This season, these two teams were two of the best defences in the country as Okanagan allowed 137 over 10 games while Regina allowed 127 over eight games.
The Thunder are trying to win their second national title.
Kick-off on Sunday is at 12 p.m. Pacific at Leibel Field in Regina.
Kelowna Rockets
After a tough 4-3 shootout loss to the Victoria Royals on Wednesday night, the Kelowna Rockets have a one-game weekend ahead of them.
The Rockets will look to get back in the win column on Friday, Oct. 25 but it won’t be an easy task as they welcome the reigning WHL champion Moose Jaw Warriors (3-7-2-0) to Prospera Place.
Puck drop is at 7:05 p.m. Being the last game before Halloween, it is the annual Hershey Candy Scramble game.
West Kelowna Warriors
The West Kelowna Warriors are making their first trip to Alberta of the season this weekend.
