PEI Rocket Announce 3rd Annual Rocket Skills Competition
November 8, 2010 - Quebec Maritimes Junior Hockey League (QMJHL)
P.E.I. Rocket News Release
The PEI Rocket will take to the ice on Sunday, November 14th for a friendly competition where the team will be split up into Team Red versus Team White. This event, presented by K-Rock 105.5, Ocean 100.3 and Budget Car & Truck Rental is guaranteed to be a fun time as the players show off their individual skills as they try to gain the upper hand in bragging rights among the other players. "The event was held in February last year and we wanted to give fans an earlier chance to see our players in a fun competition. This type of event gives the fans an opportunity to see the players in a much friendlier environment instead of the intense competitive nature of games", said GM Kent Hudson.
Each of the Rocket teams will also be joined by some very special guests. Zack Bell of K-Rock 105.5 will participate on one of the teams and Kirk MacKinnon will represent Ocean 100.3 on the other team.
