Last Time Out

Rockets Rundown: Scouting the Opposition
The Kelowna Rockets open their season against the Winterhawks on Saturday, September 21 at 6:05 p.m. at Prospera Place in Kelowna, B.C. The Rockets went 1-2-1 in the preseason, falling to the Kamloops Blazers, 9-3, before besting them in overtime the next night, and dropping their last two matchups to the Vancouver Giants.
Despite a tough preseason, Kelowna ranked 10th in the CHL's Top 10 preseason poll put out on September 18th. With NHL camps still in full swing, the club will be missing Tij Iginla, Andrew Cristall, and Hiroki Gojsic for Saturday's contest. The Winterhawks will look to capitalize on Kelowna's absences and build on their opening night performance, aiming to start the regular season 2-0 on the road.
