The Calgary Hitmen open a three game British Columbia road trip tonight in Kelowna against the Rockets. The Hitmen are coming off Sunday’s 2-1 home ice win over the Seattle Thunderbirds. Michael Stone broke a 1-1 third period tie scoring the game winning goal on the powerplay with 9:31 remaining. Tyler Fiddler with his team leading 10th goal of the season also scored for Calgary who outshot the Thunderbirds 35-12. Calgary is now 12-3 and sit tied with Portland for top spot in the Western Hockey League standing with 24 points.

Tonight is the first of three meetings with the Rockets. The Hitmen and Rockets split their two regular season meetings last year (Dec 14 in Cal ; Hitmen 4 Rockets 3, Feb 28 in Cal ; Rockets 2 Hitmen 1).

The game is online only tonight because the Flames play at home. I will not be listening or watching the game tonight as I will be at the Flames game.

Well the winning streak came to an end last night, not really surprising though. The Hitmen never seem to win in Kelowna, it is just one of those rinks that has the Hitmen's number. Just reading a couple of articles online and going through a couple of emails from buddies in Kelowna, it seems like it was the typical WHL game though, lots of bad calls both ways and in the end it sorta gets out of hand. Hitmen in Vancouver on Saturday.
