The Kelowna Rockets are a member of the British Columbia division in the Western Conference and were a middle of the road team, with a fairly even goal differential. However, they finished sixth and were sacrificial lambs to Portland in the opening round of the playoffs. Their leading goal scorer was Shane McColgan with 64 points. In a powerful Western Conference that features Edmonton and Portland, Kelowna is far from a championship team. Their history of NHL players is like a defenseman factory, with Duncan Keith, Josh Gorges, Alexander Edler, and Sheldon Souray going through Kelowna. Also playing their junior hockey in Kelowna were Jamie Benn and Travis Moen.
