The 91大黄鸭 Rockets prepare to take on the Prince George Cougars on Wednesday night at Prospera Place for this season鈥檚 first Hat Trick Wednesday.

Rockets veteran and leading point scorer of the returning players Kyle Topping says the opening weekend was just the first steps into the league for some players, and comfort takes time.

鈥淲e just need to have a short memory. It鈥檚 a long season and we just have to learn from this past weekend and come into tomorrow working hard,鈥� Topping said. 鈥淲e need to play a full 60 minutes. For stretches in both games last weekend we were playing really well, but we had some mental mistakes so we just need to work on having a full sixty minute game. There are a lot of new faces here and a lot of new guys that don鈥檛 have many games under their belt yet. I remember being a young guy too, it takes time to become comfortable in this league, but it鈥檒l come. Once that happens we鈥檙e going to be a good team.鈥�
