鈥淚f we don鈥檛 play good hockey down the stretch, it鈥檚 hard to have success in the playoffs,鈥� said Rockets鈥� head coach Jason Smith. 鈥淲e need to find a way to put the work in, and get back to competing and executing and playing as a team over these next six games.鈥�

This weekend, the Rockets will meet the Blazers in a home-and-home set鈥擣riday in Kamloops and Saturday at Prospera Place.
