It’s been a rollercoaster ride for Kelowna Rockets fans over the past 15 months.
After the 2019-20 regular season was paused in March 2020, the Memorial Cup in Kelowna was cancelled and then most of the 2020-21 season was scrapped as well.
Rockets fans got a few games to enjoy from afar over the last few months, but it certainly wasn’t the same.
However, things are expected to get back to normal next season and the WHL has now unveiled a few details about its 68-game schedule, which will start on the first day of October.
Kelowna will open its season on Saturday, Oct. 2 when the Everett Silvertips roll into town and it’s expected to happen in front of a full house of fans.
Mark your calendars 🚀 fans!
