Hitmen steal one in Kelowna
Another home game in Kelowna, another loss for the Kelowna Rockets. The not-so-friendly confines of Prospera Place became the scene of a Calgary Hitmen victory Friday night, a decision the Rockets would dearly have loved to reverse. “It would have been nice to leave here tonight with a win,” said […]
Hitmen double up winless Blazers
Go ahead and insert your own proverbial phrase here about things not being as bad as they seem. Yes, the Calgary Hitmen haven’t had the greatest start to their season. But at least they are not the Kamloops Blazers. Taking advantage of the situation at hand, the Hitmen downed the […]

‘Round the DUB
An interesting week it has been around the WHL, from winning streaks ending, to losing streaks extended. Teams being sold and goals, goals and more goals. This is the week that was in the ‘DUB. On Oct. 4, the Seattle Thunderbirds were approved by the Board of Governors to be […]
Royals serve notice in Kelowna
The Kelowna Rockets hosted the Victoria Royals at Prospera Place in an early season matchup between two teams yet to lose in regulation time. By many accounts, these are the teams likely to battle for top spot in the BC Division this season. And while the Rockets had hoped to […]
Prince George pounces on winless Kamloops
Expectations weren’t high in Kamloops this year, but surely they weren’t this low. A Prince George team, that some had in the basement of the Western Conference, ran roughshod over a equally young and inexperienced Blazer team.
