Braves host the Grads at 7:30

Brockville Braves' forward, Dryden Dervish has been one of the best additions to the CCHL club since being acquired from the Navan Grads after just two games earlier this season.

In 31 games as a Brave, Dervish has demonstrated the ability to play a hard, straight away game to go with 10 goals and 23 points during that span.

The Florida native talked about the growth of hockey in the sunshine state.

Despite the Florida Panthers' back-to-back Stanley Cups, Dervish said he's an Ottawa Senators' fan with his Dad who's from the Ottawa area.

Tonight, the Braves host the Grads, who they currently sit one spot behind in the overall league standings with 20 games remaining. Dervish said sticking to their team identity is the key to earning a win.

Puck drop is 7:30 at the Memorial Centre.
