The Rockets have acquired 20-year-old forward Brett Lyon from the Moose Jaw Warriors in exchange for two WHL bantam draft picks. The Rockets sent a 5th round pick in 2014 and a 7th round pick 2013 to the Warriors in exchange for Lyon.

To make room for Lyon, the Rockets released 20 year-old defenceman Kevin Smith. Smith will likely play in the BC Hockey League to close out his junior career.
