Daily Dose of the Dub: Cozens training camp in question, pair of Rockets switch numbers and more

Cozens training camp in question 

Lethbridge Hurricanes forward Dylan Cozens may not be available to the team when their training camp starts up in mid to late August. The Whitehorse, Yukon native was a seventh overall pick of the Buffalo Sabres in the 2019 NHL Entry Draft and sustained a thumb injury in an attempt to cushion his fall after a hip check at last month’s Sabres development. The injury will certainly keep him out of the World Junior Summer Showcase which takes place later this month and with a recovery time of up to three months, the injury could even cut into the Hurricanes regular season. It’s certainly a situation Hurricanes fan will want to keep their eyes on.

New jersey numbers for pair of Rockets next season

A pair of Kelowna Rockets will be wearing new jersey numbers in the 2019-20 season. Forward Trevor Wong is switching from #14 to #8 which was last worn by Jackson DeSouza in two games last season while Kyle Crosbie will be switching from #25 to the #18 that Steel Quiring wore in three games last season.
