KELOWNA, BC - The Kelowna Rockets open their 2025-26 preseason schedule tonight when they host the Penticton Vees at Prospera Place for the first time ever. Game time is set for 7:05 p.m.

The Rockets will return to Prospera Place for their second and final home preseason game on Saturday, September 6, at 6:05 p.m. against the Kamloops Blazers. The regular season begins on Friday, September 19, when the Rockets host the Spokane Chiefs in their 30th Anniversary Home Opener.
