Bus Legs No More?

• The Kelowna Rockets boarded a new 2009 Prevost bus as they headed out on a three game in three night road trip into the Central Division. I thought I'd give you my quick thoughts on this 'sweet ride'.
• The first four seats on the bus are best described as black leather covered 'La-z-boy' chairs. All four recline and have a foot rest. The chairs have the ability to turn 360 degrees. When I say they are leather covered, I am talking soft leather here. The four seats are used by the coaching staff and athletic therapist Jeff Thorburn. The chairs come with a pop up table for eating or laptop use.
• The remaining seats behind that section of 'La-z-boys' are your typical bus style seats but they too are also leather covered and have the Rockets logo stitched on the front of every head-rest. The leather isn't as soft as the front four, likely for durability.
• The feature I am most excited about is the high speed Internet. It is available throughout the cabin of the bus.
• The bus features satellite TV and radio.
• A big flat screen TV is located at the front of the bus with smaller screens for viewing on both the left and right sides. It should be noted the flat screen at the front is 32 inches.
• I understand that the bus has a larger motor than the previous two year old model, so propelling up the Coquihalla shouldn't be a problem.
• I have been requested not to take any pictures inside the bus, but will put up a photo of the outside once we arrive in Medicine Hat. If your curious about the inside, check the Rockets website over the next week or two.
