The end of August also means the end of the WHL career for Jamie Benn.
The 20 year-old forward officially heads down to Dallas Monday for Stars training camp.
The Victoria B.C resident will most likely participate with the Stars in the Traverse City tournament (September 6-10) with other NHL prospects before heading to main camp with Dallas in early September.
Benn spent a few days in Kelowna last week tuning up for pro camp by working out with the Rockets, a team that he spent two successful seasons with.
Benn's departure is one of many the Rockets will be experience over the next week as 7 players attend pro camps across North American.
If you missed it on the weekend the Rockets lost a pair of games to Chilliwack in exhibition action. The scores were 4-2 and 2-1. The Rockets face Kamloops in a pair of tuneup games this weekend.

He was a good player to watch in the Memorial cup last season,and I am sure he will be missed by you guys... Here in Saskatoon the Blades will most likely loose Milan Kytnar to the AHL and there is a chance that Derek Hulak could end up in the AHL as well (that is if he REALLY impresses the Oilers coaches) The Blades will have 11 players away at NHL camps. THe Blades still have some descsions to make as to who will be there overage players I am not making a prediction on that just yet.....
Not a lot of vets in the lineup yet, and not an overly outstanding showing yet by the rookies. Who do you like at this point, Regan? Is Gogol going back to d or is that energy line going to be reunited soon? When is Gugg's going to be able to play? And Bowman? Not a lot of offence this year if these two games are an indication...early still tho.....
