Nov. 23, 2012 - Kelowna, BC

The Kelowna Rockets defeated the Regina Pats 5-1 on Friday night at Prospera Place, extending its home winning streak to seven games in the first of three games for the team this weekend.

Cole Martin, Ryan Olsen and Madison Bowey also scored for the Rockets while Jordon Cooke earned the win in net, allowing just a single goal, to the Pats' Lane Scheidl.

The 20-year-old Barnett made his return to the Rockets lineup after being injured in Kelowna's home opener. It didn't take him long to hit the scoresheet, opening up the scoring seven minutes into the first period.

Kelowna improves to 13-8-1-1 on the season heading into two more games this weekend. Kelowna has won seven straight and improved to 8-2-0-0 on the season at Prospera Place.

"We want to make this a tough building to play in and I think the crowd has enjoyed the effort they are seeing from our players," said Rockets coach Ryan Huska on the AM 1150 post game show.

The Rockets will host Saskatoon on Saturday night before heading to Everett on Sunday.

Yes but the Blades are a dysfunctional group.

Their so bad that they are going to lose their Memorial Cup spot. Can't remember the last time that's happened.

Well they were .500 and they were coming off a big win over the Blazers. So a 9-2 win was a nice surprise.

Then an 8-2 win tonight :P

Should I say it again? This team can score!

haha, they are not THAT bad, I mean their goalie allows them to win some games. But honestly, in this day and age, no team will ever be made to "give up" the mem cup, Logistically , it just wont happen.

The Kelowna Rockets edged the Tri-City Americans 3-2 on Wednesday night at Prospera Place in Kelowna, extending its home winning streak to nine games.

Dylen McKinlay scored the winning goal midway through the second period to give the Rockets the lead and the team clamped down in the third period, allowing just six Tri-City shots in the period.

"It was a nice play by (Colton) Heffley," said McKinlay, on the Am 1150 post game show. "I try that move a lot. It finally worked and it was nice to see it go in the net."

Myles Bell added two first period markers, giving him a team-leading 17 on the season.

Jordon Cooke earned the win in the Rockets nets, as the team improved to 16-8-1-1 on the season and 10-2-0-0 at Prospera Place.

"I thought Tri-City skated well tonight and did a good job of stretching us out in the neutral zone," said Rockets coach Ryan Huska on the AM 1150 post game show. "But I don't think it was a sharp night for us. If you look at the games over the last while it's been fairly easy for us. Tonight we came out flat and we weren't as sharp."

Drydn Dow and Connor Rankin scored for the Americans.

Kelowna now gets set for a two game weekend. On Friday the Rockets will put its nine game home winning streak on the line when they host the Moose Jaw Warriors. Then the Rockets will travel to Seattle to play the Thunderbirds on Saturday.

Nice to see the Rockets win! Bell sure is on fire!

The Kelowna Rockets extended its home winning streak to 10 games on Friday night at Prospera Place, scoring a 3-2 win over the Moose Jaw Warriors in a fast-paced and entertaining game in Kelowna.

Henrik Nyberg used a burst of speed to get in alone on Moose Jaw netminder Daniel Wapple and buried the game winner late in the third period to give the Rockets the win.

Damon Severson and Ryan Olsen also scored for the Rockets, who outshot the Warriors 34-20 in the game.

Wapple was the game's first star, keeping Kelowna at bay for most of the night. Shots in the first period were 17-2 for Kelowna, but the score was only 1-0 Rockets.

The Rockets led 2-0 in the second period but allowed the Warriors back into the game. Sam Firoetti and Braiden Doucette scored to tie the game, setting the stage for Nyberg's winner.

The Rockets are back in action Saturday night as they travel to Seattle for a game against the Thunderbirds.

Kelowna returns to Prospera Place next week for its final two homes games before Christmas, hosting Swift Current on Wednesday and Prince George on Friday.

Dec. 5, 2012 - Kelowna, BC

The Kelowna Rockets came from behind on Wednesday night at Prospera Place, scoring four third period goals to beat the Swift Current Broncos 6-5 and extend its home winning streak to 11 games.

"Sometimes you have to win ugly," said Rockets' head coach Ryan Huska on the AM 1150 post game show. "At the end of the day we didn't play as well as we could tonight. I thought we were slugish coming out of the gates. It wasn't pretty but it was an important win for us."

The Rockets have now won 11 straight games at Prospera Place, improving its overall WHL record to 18-9-1-1.

Zach Franko, Ryan Olsen, Madison Bowey, JT Barnett and Dylen McKinlay also scored for the Rockets while Adam Lowry led the charge for Swift Current, scoring three goals for the Broncos.

Kelowna will play its final home game before Christmas at Prospera Place on Saturday night when the Prince George Cougars come to Kelowna.

Gutsy win .

This home winning streak is starting to get impressive .
