P.E.I. Rocket News Release
Uigg, PEI native Travis McIsaac was named team captain by the PEI Rocket earlier today. Jonathan Bonneau (20), Matthew Hobbs (19) and newcomer Philippe Paradis (19) were named Assistant Captains for the 2010-2011 season.
"It is a really great honour to be named Captain of the Rocket" said McIsaac. "Coming back to PEI for my 20-year old season is very exciting and I can't wait to get the season started", he added.
Head Coach Eric Lavigne added that "Travis was a natural selection for Captain. He leads by example, both on and off the ice. He is a great example for our young players and will be a great asset to the organization this season".
The Rocket will hit the ice for an exhibition game against the Saint John Sea Dogs on Thursday evening at 7:00 PM at the Charlottetown Civic Centre. Tickets are $5 for season ticket holders and $7 for non-season ticket holders. All seating is general admission and tickets can be purchased in advance at the Rocket office or CCC box office. Tickets will also be available at the gate, but fans are urged to purchase tickets in advance to avoid any lineups at the door.
Fans are also reminded that the Rocket team will be officially announced on Friday at noon as part of the 2nd Annual Street Hockey Festival. Grafton Street between University Avenue and Prince Street will be the location for the announcement. The Sherwood Peewee AAA Falcons will also be hosting a BBQ as part of the event, so fans are welcome to drop by. All proceeds will assist the SPRMHA Peewee AAA who will be traveling to the Quebec Peewee International Minor Hockey tournament this winter.
