Back home Sunday at 5 p.m. Share Dec. 28, 2012 - Vancouver, BC The Kelowna Rockets defeated the Vancouver Giants 5-3 on Friday night at the Pacific Coliseum in Vancouver, winning its second straight game since returning from the Western Hockey League's Christmas break.

Jackson Whistle earned his second straight win in net for the Rockets, after Thursday night's 7-3 win over Kamloops. Attendance in Vancouver was 9,414. Kelowna is off Saturday but is back in action on Sunday when they put a 13-game home winning streak on the line against Everett.

Buddhas Hand Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 (edited) Veteran D-man Chapman Out for Season Jan. 8, 2013 - Kelowna, BC Kelowna Rockets president and general manager Bruce Hamilton has announced that 20-year-old Rockets defenceman Mitchell Chapman has been placed on injured reserve for the rest of the Western Hockey League season. Chapman has been out with a high ankle sprain since suffering the injury on the first day of the Rockets 2012-13 training camp, an injury that did not heal as expected. "It was decided by our medical team today that Mitchell is likely going to need surgery," said Hamilton. "It's a huge blow for our organization, losing a player like that. He's been with us for three full years and missing his 20-year-old season is a tough break for him." Chapman, a 6-foot-3 225 pound defender, joined the Rockets in the 2009-10 season. He played 165 regular season games and a further 18 in the playoffs. Edited January 8, 2013 by The Ratiocinator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nevlach Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Rockets own the Royals tonight 6-1. Combined with Kamloops loss the Rockets take over sole possession of 1st in the division. After the Blazers 17 game unbeaten streak to start the season this task seemed almost impossible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nevlach Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Yeah the big hurdle is Portland. How can anyone beat them in a 7 game series? Though if any team can do it I think its Kelowna. What happens when two teams meet up one both on huge winning streaks with the best stats in the WHL? Someone has to win. Could easily go both ways imo.
