Kelowna was ahead for 2 periods, Seattle tied it with 3 seconds.... damn.

Hopefully Kelowna gets it OT

Well season is over for Kelowna. It sucks, but I guess we should be lucky we made it this far since we were 0.2 seconds away from being knocked off by Victoria. Better luck next year.

^^^ Exactly jaz

Go Rockets Go

Kelowna vs Kamloops should be a great series! The rivalry is huge. Would not be surprised if this series goes 7.

The wildcard in this series could be Conner Ingram

That's just it. If Ingram is on his A game it is going to be hard to beat Kamloops. Going to have to basically fire everything on net and hope for a rebound or something.

This shows being #1 in regular season does not guarantee a Championship

A sad note they just announced that this will be the last game being broadcasted on shaw tv after 13 seasons and it sounds like no one else has picked the the rights for next season (yet anyway).

Edit. @WHLonShawTVWe will no longer be airing WHL games on Shaw TV due to the closure of production facilities required to produce this content. Thank you
