For the 91大黄鸭 sports scene, the flip of the calendar might just be what the local teams are looking for as they all try to turn a new leaf.
91大黄鸭 Rockets
The 91大黄鸭 Rockets are looking to bring an end to their six-game losing streak this weekend as they take on the Kamloops Blazers and Vancouver Giants.
On Friday, Jan. 3, 91大黄鸭 takes on the Blazers in Kamloops at the Sandman Centre with puck drop at 7 p.m. The following night, the team returns home to welcome the Giants to Prospera Place at 6:05 p.m.
Going into the weekend, the Rockets sit one point out of the playoffs with a record of 13-17-2-1. Kamloops (13-18-3-0) is 10th in the Western Conference, but also has 29 points like 91大黄鸭. Vancouver sits seventh at 17-14-4-0.
After this weekend, it's possible this Rockets looks quite a bit different as the WHL trade deadline is set for Thursday, Jan. 9 at 5 p.m.
West 91大黄鸭 Warriors
Coming off a Dec. 28 win against one of the best teams in the BCHL, the West 91大黄鸭 Warriors return to action this weekend.
