Tough sledding for WHL competitors on Day 4 of Memorial eCup
It was a tough night for the Western Hockey League on Day 4 of the CHL’s Memorial eCup presented by Kia. Though they put forth valiant efforts, both Jackson Berezowski of the Everett Silvertips and Cole Schwebius of the Kelowna Rockets were eliminated from the tournament Thursday evening.
Everett Silvertips / Jackson Berezowski (2) vs. Acadie-Bathurst Titan / Dylan Champagne (6)

Kelowna Rockets / Cole Schwebius (2) vs. Kitchener Rangers / Graham Dickerson (4)
It was a back-and-forth affair that Cole Schwebius controlled for lengthy stretches, but his Kelowna Rockets ultimately came up just short, as Graham Dickerson and the Kitchener Rangers secured a 4-2 triumph to move on to the second round of the CHL Memorial eCup.
