The Trail Smoke Eaters will join the BCHL’s 17 other teams in a shortened five-week regular season, officially making their debut in the league in a few weeks.
Although the Smoke Eaters played nine exhibition games against the Cranbrook Bucks and Merritt Centennials before the regular season was slated to begin in November, early April will mark the team’s official entry into the BCHL.
On Friday, the BCHL announced that they had been given approval by the Provincial Health Office to hold a condensed season in five regional hub cities, with three to four teams in each hub. Further details including a full schedule and announcement of hub city locations will be announced over the coming days by the BCHL.

Since the historic snowfall that hit Merritt just days before Christmas, snow clearing and snow removal has been the talk of the town.
Recognizing so, City of Merritt CAO Sean Smith penned an open letter last week, often being candid about being unprepared as well as giving some budget numbers.
In this past Tuesday’s regular city council meeting, staff and council spent nearly two hours discussing Merritt’s snow clearing system. Public Works Manager Charlie Henderson was on-hand to give a Powerpoint presentation outlining possible changes in the budget to incorporate both more staffing and more equipment.
As is often the case, heard around town and throughout social media, one of the main concerns brought up was that of the safety of both seniors and the disabled.
