The Rockets will open their regular season as they face off against the Kamloops Blazers Friday and Saturday night.
After closing out their season as B.C. Division champions they are looking to do it again.
“I think it starts with hard work and playing as a team. This organization has a great past as a team that competes and plays the game the right way every night. If we go out and put our best foot forward I believe we will be in a good spot at the end of the year,” Rockets coach, Jason Smith said.
