Warriors vs. Pats
The Warriors will take on their rivals the Regina Pats in the second half of a home-and-home series on Saturday night. Moose Jaw has dominated the season series thus far, so you can expect Mosaic Place will be loud. The game starts at 7 p.m. Tickets are available at the Mosaic Place box office.
