The Kelowna Rockets 2015-2016 regular season schedule was
released today. The team will open defense of its Western Hockey League championship September 25th against the Kamloops Blazers.
On that night, the team will raise a Western Hockey League championship banner
to the rafters as well as a Western Conference championship banner. It doesn’t
end there though. The Rockets will also have another BC Division banner among
the three that will be hoisted high above before what is expected to be a sell out crowd.
The Rockets will open the season playing eight of their first
11 games on the road. The only three home games feature dates against Kamloops,
Victoria and Red Deer. After opening the
season on home ice, the team ventures out on a six game road trip which features
an Alberta road swing with games in Edmonton, Red Deer, Lethbridge and Medicine
Hat. In the big picture, the Rockets play thirteen of its first 21 games on
opposition ice.
The Rockets will again play a double header in Portland this
season with games November 6th and 7th.
The team visits Prince George for back-to-back games on
October 16th and 17th and again on February 12th
and 13th.
The team will make a Saskatchewan road trip again this winter,
playing six games in nine nights.
That road trip includes a stop in Brandon in
a rematch of the WHL final against the Wheat
Kings on December 12th.
The Rockets will play the Kamloops Blazers, Prince George Cougars,
Vancouver Giants and Victoria Royals eight times each.
The team will ring in New Years in Everett on January 1st.
The Rockets open the season with three games in three
nights. The team will play three games
in three nights – four times this season.
