Who will the goaltender be to push Rockets starting goaltender Adam Brown this season?
Now that veteran Mark Guggenberger has graduated, a rookie is poised to take over the duties of being the glorified cheerleader on the bench.
Is 17 year-old Jordan Cooke the front runner in winning the coveted seat?
You would have to think so.
Cooke was taken in the 4th round of the 2008 WHL Bantam Draft.
Big deal you say?
It's significant that Cooke was selected in the 4th round by the Kelowna Rockets. No goaltender, outside of Josh Lepp in the 1st round back in 2000, has ever been selected by Director of Player Personnel Lorne Frey that early in the draft.
Cooke is coming off a solid season in Leduc, where he was named the Alberta Midget Hockey League playoff MVP.
It's best he step up now and show what he can do because the Rockets have another solid goaltender waiting in the wings.
James Fisk, taken in the 9th round of this summers draft, will be at main camp this year. Still a year away from being eligible to play though, Fisk and Cooke surely will be knocking heads at training camp in the near future to see who is the back up and who is the starter.

who won the testing?
and why is camp at cnc and not prospera
Listed player Darren Hogg (17 year old goaltender for Okanagan Rockets) would also seem to be a possible.
ALEGRIA by CIRQUE DU SOLEIL wrapped up last night. No ice in the arena yet.
Fitness testing also wrapped up today. I will try to get the results later this week.
