WCL Kelowna Falcons

Kelowna Falcons Home Opener Moved

June 8, 2011 - West Coast League (WCL)
Kelowna Falcons News Release


Kelowna, BC: The Kelowna Falcons of the West Coast League (WCL) have gone Canucks crazy and has changed the date of their 2011 home opener in anticipation of Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Final.

The Falcons will move their June 10th home opener and Showcase Series against the Langley Blaze to the following night, Saturday June 11th at 6:35pm, gates at 5:30pm. Admission to the Falcons home opener remains FREE presented by Kon Kast Products. Game 2 of this series would be the next night, Sunday June 12 at 6:05pm.

"We're all Canucks and this could be one of the biggest celebrations in BC," says General Manager Mark Nonis. "They could be the first Canadian team to win the Stanley Cup in 17 years and we're the only Canadian team in the WCL. It just makes sense, especially the fact we're hosting a suburb of Vancouver; the Langley Blaze. We know our fans are hockey fans too, so we want to encourage them to support the Canucks on Friday, then come watch the Falcons on Saturday night...sounds like a great weekend of sports to me."

The Falcons hope their fans enjoy Game 5 (if necessary) on June 10, then enjoy their traditional FREE home opener at Elks Stadium on June 11.

The 2011 Falcons season will still open on the road in Bellingham this Friday night. The club will then travel to Wenatchee for a three game series against the defending champs, before their home opener June 11.
