On The Eve Of Main Camp Beginning
- Main camp opens Tuesday morning without veteran goaltender Mark Guggenberger. Guggenberger is out with a groin injury. So that leaves five goaltenders battling for a spot on this years team, but you would think its essentially a fight between Guggenberger and Adam Brown for the #1 duties. My general feeling is neither would want to play 'second fiddle' this season as a back-up, so it would be best to watch rookie goaltenders Patrick Fairclough and Jordon Cooke closely.
- Fairclough was the Rockets 10th round pick in 2007 while Cook was the Rockets 4th round pick in 2008.
- Thirteen (13) rookie are headed to main camp. Among the 13 are Sean MacTavish, Tanner Moore and Colton Heffley. All three are just 15. MacTavish is the biggest name of the bunch considering his dad is former NHL'er Craig MacTavish. MacTavish was a 9th round pick this summer.
- Of those three players mentioned, I have to admit I am hoping Heffley has a solid camp. Why? The kid is from Swift Current. Enough said. Heffley played with the bantam Raiders last season. Heffley was taken in the second round of the 2008 draft.

Where has Dylan Tait gone? He battled Adam Brown well for the backup spot last year.
so who's the fifth goalie.
are they on the ice from 9am to around 12pm tomorrow
Tait is no longer with the team. At last word he was trying out with the Kootenay Ice if I am not mistaken.
