GM Kent Hudson indicated that "it has been a great way for us to provide a little incentive for those teams that wanted to attend a PEI Rocket home game as a group. We love having kids in the building because of the excitement they create. This type of opportunity also fits nicely into our community outreach program which has been very successful in the last number of months".
The Rocket have two home games remaining before the playoffs begin. Friday night, the Rocket will host the Cape Breton Screaming Eagles at 7:00 PM and Sunday, the Rocket will host the Saint John Sea Dogs at 4:00 PM.
