I'm pretty sure the players aren't sitting there watching if the fans are leaving with 5 mins left...<br />I personally stay and enjoy the three stars and applaud their efforts but if people want to spend their 15 bucks and leave early thats up to them... I have heard many fans from out of town comment on how nice it is that the Kelowna "faithful" are there for their team each and every game... yes some games are quiet and some games you can feel a buzz... but the fans are always there and that is what the boys on the bench notice... they know no matter who they're playing the 6000+ faithful will be there... would I like the atmosphere to improve abit? Sure I would... but I do believe based on what I've seen at other arenas that Kelowna has the most faithful fanbase going!

It is awful hard to be critical of the Kelowna fans when they do show up at Prospera 6000+ strong for every game. If the fans are not "lively" enough for some maybe they should venture out to Chilliwack, Kamloops, PG etc to see what the other fans are like. They then would appreciate what they have at home.bcdfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13293029870075650588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8092520535436243757.post-35508944672180146682010-12-05T23:51:54.982-08:002010-12-05T23:51:54.982-08:00I am constantly attempting to get the crowd going ...I am constantly attempting to get the crowd going with go rockets go chants.

Saskatoon is the 5th ranked team in the CHL.<br /><br />I hope the Rockets are given a tremendous send off by the Propera faithful as the team head to Alberta for a five game road trip. These young men deserve it.<br /><br />Thanks Rockets for an entertaining last five weeks. I am looking forward to Wednesday night and the second half of the season.Gord McGarvahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12965789975160445793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8092520535436243757.post-58267962670557297562010-12-05T22:48:12.528-08:002010-12-05T22:48:12.528-08:00Peter Soberlak is his name.

Not sure he is the entire reason behind the turnaround though?Regan Bartelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06156188149671632288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8092520535436243757.post-88918117559629092002010-12-05T21:52:51.493-08:002010-12-05T21:52:51.493-08:00Irritates the hell out of me to see fans leaving e...Irritates the hell out of me to see fans leaving early in any game. In particular in last nights game against one of the premier teams in the league. I think it is disrespectful to the teams to be rushing out early. We are so lucky to have a class organization like the Rockets in our community. Regan, good for you for bringing it up.<br />Regan, can you elaborate on a post you made a month or two ago. You mentioned that the team hired a sports psychologist or something along that line. It has occurred to me that we have had lots of talent on the team since day one and it seems to me that we have seen a very positive (winning) attitude from the team. Just wondering how much you credit the newcomer?Boondockerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06012328864830863714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8092520535436243757.post-74248214057199233312010-12-05T17:33:57.883-08:002010-12-05T17:33:57.883-08:00I agree with you 100% about the fans.

And sometimes even if the game is close I see fans leaving.<br /><br />And another thing about the fans is I have noticed they are quite quiet. They cheer when they score, and when it is up on the screen, but for the most part nothing. Guys are always trying to start chants, but no one really follows. What is up with that?jaz301https://www.blogger.com/profile/17544148904832168164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8092520535436243757.post-60840404496178451772010-12-05T14:23:35.849-08:002010-12-05T14:23:35.849-08:00why do you and Mr Sunshine worry so much when peop...why do you and Mr Sunshine worry so much when people leave early. Sunshine has to go on about it every game. Who cares if people leave if the game is out of hand, close or in the 1st period. Relax, enjoy the game for your own reasons and dont worry about something that has zero impact on the game.<br /><br />Kelowna fans are pathetic with creating any atmosphere anyway, although Mr Sunshine would likely say otherwise, some early leavers doesnt impact the noise or atmosphere anyway.<br /><br />I know there are only so many thngs to discuss on air and Mr Sunshine repeats them each game, but he needs to put this issue to bed.Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01785037288067007848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8092520535436243757.post-11126027983359856482010-12-05T09:54:13.084-08:002010-12-05T09:54:13.084-08:00I couldn't agree more.I swear if its a blow ou...I couldn't agree more.I swear if its a blow out (either team winning, doesn't matter)people start leaving after 50/50. I wait about 2 minutes after the 3 stars and it really doesn't take that long to get out of there. Sad. <br />Anyway... Good luck to them on their Alberta swing, I'm sure they'll do awesome!

However on the other side. I do not live far from the arena and it has taken me over 30 min to get home at times. Poor parking is the main reason.MGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06923284046096718672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8092520535436243757.post-50523762938884509402010-12-05T08:54:14.480-08:002010-12-05T08:54:14.480-08:00Fans leaving is PATHETIC, it takes 7 Minutes to ge...Fans leaving is PATHETIC, it takes 7 Minutes to get out of downtown when it is packed, they would still get home in time to see Peter Mansbridge at 10.<br /><br />No mention of Mitch getting handled?
