Luke Moffatt will be M.I.A when the Kelowna Rockets open main camp next week.In a conversation with Rockets director of player personnel Lorne Frey today, he told me Moffatt informed the Rockets Friday that he's had a change of mind - or is it heart - and won't be attending camp as originally thought.
"We just understand his situation. He has to go where he can play the best hockey, and we'll be a little more concerned two years from now if he doesn't show up at training camp", Frey told me.
"I think right now we have to give him a couple of years here. The bottom line is Luke wants to play at the best level he can play at, and this presented the best opportunity for him by playing midget hockey in Michigan this winter. We wish him well, and hope he has a great year and continues to develop. Next year, we will see where it takes us," Frey added.
Moffatt was the Rockets first pick in this summers WHL bantam draft, and was ineligible to play with the team this season as an underage 15 year-old.
