The Warriors have a record 4-15-3-2 in their first 24 games, in sixth place in the Interior Division.

Murphy and Hume say they want to create a development model that benefits the Warriors and the community.

“We want to create a program that is second to none in terms of development,” Hume said. “This can start even before players reach the Junior age, and we want to be supporters of youth hockey in the region. Once here, our players will receive first class training both on and off ice and will be put in an environment that prepares them for the next step in hockey and education.”

The deal to purchase the team was reached with the BCHL, completing the ownership transition.

“The ownership of Mr. Murphy and Mr. Hume is going to provide the city of West Kelowna’s BCHL team with the resources it needs and ensure it continues as a pillar of the community,” said BCHL Commissioner Chris Hebb. “We look forward to seeing the plan they have shown the League for growing their team come to fruition.”

Murphy said, “I want to thank previous owner Kim Dobranski and his staff for their efforts operating the team during challenging times. I also want to thank former owner, Mark Cheyne, who built the tradition that we intend to live up to. Our number one goal is to bring a Cup back to West Kelowna. We want this entire community to feel a part of this effort and look forward to a great partnership with our fans.”
