Rockets perfect in pre-season

The Kelowna Rockets were perfect in pre-season.
Tyson Baillie scored the game winner in the shootout Saturday night, leading the Rockets to a 2-1 win over the Vancouver Giants.
Jordon Cooke made 36 saves in the win as the Rockets went 6 and 0 in exhibition.
Tanner Moar scored the Rockets lone goal in regulation time.

Notes:



  • Colton Sissons and Carter Rigby did not play, leaving the Rockets with only 15 skaters and two goalies.

  • With Sissons sitting out, Spencer Main was the captain. In all four games Sissons played, the 17 year-old was given the 'C'.

  • Sixteen year-old Tyson Baillie led the team in pre-season scoring with nine points.

  • Sixteen year-old Jesse Lees led the Rockets in plus-minus with a +4.

  • Mitchell Chapman and Tyrell Goulbourne led the team in penalty minutes with 14 apiece.

  • The Rockets scored 24 goals in six pre-season games or four goals per game.

  • The Rockets never trailed after 40 minutes in all six games.

  • The Rockets opened the scoring in five of the six games.

  • The regular season begins a week from tonight in Everett. AM 1150 will have that game starting at 6:30.

Who the heck is this Rigby Burgart you keep mentioning? No such guy is the box scores.

My bad. Carter Rigby is who I was speaking of. I have Rigby Burgart -former Hitmen - on my mind.
