Just prior to Thursday’s game against Quesnel the coaching staff shook out two key players in the Cents’ roster, defencemen Trevor Verwolf and Justin Thomas.
Cents netminder Anthony Manfredi was sold to the Junior B Kamloops Storm last week before the team added a new goalie. Shane Mainprize made the switch from the Prince George Spruce Kings to Merritt.
Also joining the roster for Tuesday night’s game was newly acquired 19-year-old forward Justin Taylor.
The most shocking moment in the game came at 14:29 when an unprovoked attack came from Harrison’s ex-teammate Rigby Burgart. After brutally bashing Harrison’s head into the boards behind the goal, Burgart was thrown out for unsportsmanlike conduct and collected nine minutes in penalties.
At first a penalty was called against Harrison, but it was quickly recalled after objection from both the Cents’ bench and the crowd.
