P.E.I. Rocket News Release
The pre-season action continues as the Rocket meet Memorial Cup Champions, the Saint John Sea Dogs this weekend in back to back games. Friday, August 27th in Quispamsis, NB at the QPlex at 7:00pm

Ticket prices for all Home Exhibition Games will be $5.00 for both Season Ticket Holders & Fans. There will be no pre-sale of tickets, all tickets available at the door only.
Sunday will be the first opportunity to see Memorial Cup Champions, the Saint John Sea Dogs. Although it is an exhibition game, fans will get a chance to see many players from last years' team as Coach Gerard Gallant plans to ice a strong team. This should make for some exciting hockey, as 12 Saint John players are intensifying their game in preparation for Pro Camps in two weeks. Meanwhile the Rocket will continue their high tempo pace under Coach Gordie Dwyer. Dwyer is pleased with what he sees in camp so far as the veterans are leading by example and a group of young rookies are making for some tough decisions.
After 2 weeks of intense and upbeat practicing, at the Rocket 2011 Training Camp, the PEI Rocket are coming closer to finalizing their final roster. Training camp started out with a total of 51 players at camp. After many player decisions the roster now stands at 29 players.
