26th season calling play-by-play for Kelowna Rockets. Five years SC Broncos. 31st overall. Born Saskatchewan tough. Now BC soft. Greatest fear? Losing my voice!

The last player to join the @Kelowna_Rockets out of the BCHL was…Ryan Oothoudt, who started last season with the Trail Smoke Eaters.

One clarification: Harrison Boettiger appears set to return to the Kelowna Rockets lineup.
In today’s fast-moving, unpredictable landscape, nothing is guaranteed until we see him on the ice.
Looks like the Rockets’ goaltending duo will be a formidable pair to watch in ’26.

I'd like to see the WHL get involved somehow, some way.

The #OHL and @QMJHL meet in four home-and-home crossover series during the 2026-27 season. ⚔️
After going 5-0 against QMJHL opponents last year, OHL clubs will look to keep that momentum going starting in November! 🔥

Covered Mike Babcock and the Red Wings practices in Kelowna back in March 2010.
Morning scrum didn’t start until Babs finished his jog around Prospera Place.
If he gets the Oilers job, Edmonton reporters better bring running shoes.

Originally, I wasn’t a fan of the early start, but it quickly changed.
Love the 6:00 pm puck drop on the weekend.
We're excited to announce that all Saturday home games during the 2026/27 season will now start at 6:00 PM!
The earlier start means a more family friendly experience, an earlier trip home after the game, and more opportunities for young Broncos fans to enjoy every minute of the action.
Same electric atmosphere. Same Broncos hockey. Just an hour earlier.
Mark your calendars and make Saturday night Broncos hockey part of your family's plans this season! 🏒

I don’t like colour analyst’s tromping over the play-by-play guy, but this is different.
This is reaction in mid-conversation.
Love how it turned out.

🤔 To be honest, was wondering how long this would last.
Two strong minded hockey men with a long history of success.

These are the kinds of stories that resonate with me.
As a journalist, the challenge is to dig beneath the game recaps and final scores to uncover the people, moments, and experiences that truly make a story worth reading.
