October 29, 2011 - Western Hockey League (WHL) Kelowna Rockets

The Kamloops Blazers came from behind to defeat the Kelowna Rockets 4-3 in an entertaining game in front of 6,063 fans at Prospera Place on Saturday night.

The Rockets led 2-0 early in the second period before the Blazers scored four straight goals, two of them by first star Dylan Willick in the win.

The loss drops the Rockets record to 5-9-1-0.

Kelowna opened the scoring in the first period when rookie Madison Bowey scored his second goal of the season. Shane McColgan made it 2-0 Kelowna 2:33 into the second period with his 5th of the season.
