The Selkirk Saints continue their impressive run of exhibition games tonight in Castlegar when they play their second game in as many nights against the Trinity Western Spartans of Langley.
The Saints lead the BCIHL with four wins, two losses and one overtime loss in the seven pre-season games they've played to date, including a 4 - 0 shutout of Trinity in Nelson yesterday.
The Saints had an impressive third period in Nelson, opening the scoring on two power play goals before adding two more before the end of regulation.
Tonight's matchup will be the final exhibition game for the Selkirk College skaters, who will begin their BCIHL defence against Eastern Washington University Eagles on Friday, Oct 4 at 7:30 p.m. at the Castlegar Community Complex.
