What to Watch Kelowna: The Kelowna Rockets roster is loaded with talent, boasting seven NHL drafted players. They acquired Leon Draisaitl in a trade with Prince Albert, with Draisaitl spending some time playing with the Edmonton Oilers this season. Kelowna has one of the top prospects in the upcoming draft in Nick Merkley, projected by many NHL writers and scouts to be a first round NHL draft pick. The Rockets were the second in the WHL this season in scoring, and were the best in the league with 183 goals against. Kelowna was also the top power play team in the league this season, converting 26.2 percent of its chances with at least a man advantage. Jackson Whistle has been the man between the pipes for a majority of the season for Kelowna, Tri-City: th Tri-City comes into this series having won two of its last three games to get into the WHL postseason for a 12 straight season. They find themselves in a similar position as last season, facing the top seeded Kelowna Rockets as the eighth seed in the Western Conference. But this team should have confidence coming into the series for a few reasons. Tri-City beat Kelowna in the first meeting between the two teams in the regular season, which was the Rocket’s first loss in regulation this season. The wins at the end of the season when they needed them to get into the postseason should give the team a boost of confidence coming into this first round playoff series. It will be a tough task as the Americans face the second ranked offense in the WHL, but the Americans were able to bottle up the top power play unit in the league, especially at home, where Kelowna was 0-of-9 on the power play at Toyota Center. Winnipeg Jets prospect Eric Comrie will have to be big in this series, and he has shown that he is one of the top goaltenders in the league while also earning a gold at the World Junior Championships with Canada with Rocket’s Morrissey and Bowey.

What to Watch Kelowna: The Kelowna Rockets roster is loaded with talent, boasting seven NHL drafted players. They acquired Leon Draisaitl in a trade with Prince Albert, with Draisaitl spending some time playing with the Edmonton Oilers this season. Kelowna has one of the top prospects in the upcoming draft in Nick Merkley, projected by many NHL writers and scouts to be a first round NHL draft pick. The Rockets were the second in the WHL this season in scoring, and were the best in the league with 183 goals against. Kelowna was also the top power play team in the league this season, converting 26.2 percent of its chances with at least a man advantage. Jackson Whistle has been the man between the pipes for a majority of the season for Kelowna, Tri-City: th Tri-City comes into this series having won two of its last three games to get into the WHL postseason for a 12 straight season. They find themselves in a similar position as last season, facing the top seeded Kelowna Rockets as the eighth seed in the Western Conference. But this team should have confidence coming into the series for a few reasons. Tri-City beat Kelowna in the first meeting between the two teams in the regular season, which was the Rocket’s first loss in regulation this season. The wins at the end of the season when they needed them to get into the postseason should give the team a boost of confidence coming into this first round playoff series. It will be a tough task as the Americans face the second ranked offense in the WHL, but the Americans were able to bottle up the top power play unit in the league, especially at home, where Kelowna was 0-of-9 on the power play at Toyota Center. Winnipeg Jets prospect Eric Comrie will have to be big in this series, and he has shown that he is one of the top goaltenders in the league while also earning a gold at the World Junior Championships with Canada with Rocket’s Morrissey and Bowey.
