Rockets reduce roster

ROCKETS ASSIGN HEFFLEY TO MIDGET TEAM

The Kelowna Rockets announce that the WHL club has reassigned forward Colton Heffley to the Swift Current Legionnaires in the Saskatchewan Midget AAA League.

"Colton did very well here, he got better every weekend," said Rockets assistant general manager Lorne Frey. "In saying that we didn't think there was going to be enough playing time here this year. He's going to go back and get lots of ice time in midget AAA and play in all situations."

Heffley played in all six Kelowna Rockets exhibition games this season collecting one assist.

The Rockets are now carrying 25 players heading into Wednesday night's game against Tri-City at Prospera Place in Kelowna.
