The Kelowna Rockets are excited to announce that four Rockets players are headed to NHL camps this September: Pavel Novak (Minnesota), Tyson Feist (Arizona), Trevor Wong (Florida) and Noah Dorey (Boston).

The Minnesota Wild will get their first in-person look at Novak, their fifth-round pick in the 2020 NHL Draft. He did not attend camp last year due to Covid-19 and played the entirety of the 2020-21 season

in the Czech Republic after the Rockets were unable to secure a visa for the forward.

Following the end of the Wild's camp, Novak will return for his second season with Kelowna. The forward led the Rockets in scoring during the 2019-20 season with 55 points (25G, 33A) over 58 games.

Most recently, the 19-year-old helped the Czech U20 team win the Four Nations Tournament last week. He appeared in three games, posting five points (3G, 2A).

Overage defenceman Tyson Feist earned an invite to the Grand Canyon State where he'll hit the ice with the Arizona Coyotes at their development camp.

Feist was acquired from the Regina Pats during the 2019-20 season. He put up career-highs during the 2020-21 season, posting 10 points (2G, 8A) and a team-high +15 plus-minus rating over 14 games.

Wong will head to Florida to hit the ice with the Panthers. The Vancouver, BC product was ranked by NHL's Central Scouting for the 2021 NHL Draft but went undrafted.

The Rockets 18th overall pick in the 2018 WHL Draft led the team in scoring during the 2020-21 season with 16 points (6G, 10A) in 16 games

Dorey went undrafted in his first year of eligibility, but that didn't stop the Boston Bruins from extending an invite to the eighteen-year-old defenceman.

Dorey spent his first full season with the Rockets during the 2020-21 campaign, he appeared in nine games notching a goal and two assists.
