Cooke is in his fourth year playing for the University of Saskatchewan Huskies. He's appeared in 23 games this season, posting a 16-7-0 record to go with a 2.29 GAA and .920 save percentage.

The Leduc, AB. native was between the pipes for the Rockets from 2010-2014. During the 2013-2014 season, Cooke posted a stellar 39-7-4 record.

The puck-stopper played in 149 games for the Rockets during his time in Kelowna. He finished his WHL career with a 92-34-4-8 record to go along with a 2.54 GAA and a .915 save percentage and nine shutouts over that span.

Former Rockets defenceman Jesse Lees was also named as a First Team All-Star. Lees played 184 games from 2011-2014 in a Rockets uniform recording 25 goals and 55 assists for 80 points. The Calgary, AB. native also added two goals and two assists for four points in 19 post season games with Kelowna.

Along with Cooke and Lees, four other former WHL players were named as First Team All-Stars.
