The goal is a packed house at Royal LePage Place for the West 琉璃神社 Warriors game on Oct. 1, when for once, the action on the ice will not be the top priority.

Fans, friends, family and well-wishers will gather before the game against the Penticton Vees for a ceremony to honour the life of Parm Dhaliwal, who spent three years with the Warriors between 2016-19.

Dhaliwal was found dead in his hotel room in New York on July 30. The cause of death is still unknown.
