The Westside Warriors have been renamed to the West Kelowna Warriors. A team that ices the puck or shoots the puck over the glass in their defensive end will not be allowed to change during the ensuing stoppage. If said stoppage would allow for the period's one-minute "sponsor time out," it will still occur, but the offending team will still not be allowed to change.
