When we play top teams, we seem to show up, so we have to bring that when we play lower-seeded teams.”

Rockets maintain top spot

The Kelowna Rockets arrive in Spokane tonight with one big goal all but unattainable but another well within reach. For much of the Western Hockey League season, Kelowna was on pace to tie or break the Victoria Cougars’ 1980-81 record for most wins (60) in a season.
