The Kelowna Rockets delivered arguably their most complete performance of the season on Saturday night, overwhelming the Spokane Chiefs 7–1 at Prospera Place to close out their home weekend on a dominant note.

GAME SUMMARY

The Rockets dictated the pace from the opening puck drop, striking twice in the first period to take early control.

Kelowna opened the scoring at 11:14 when Hayden Paupanekis (3) hammered a one-timer from the left hash marks on the power play, set up by Levi Benson and Jacob Henderson. The lead doubled late in the frame as Tij Iginla (11) buried a one-timer through the pads off a slick backhand pass from Tomas Poletin, with Hiroki Gojsic also drawing an assist.

The Rockets blew the game open in the second period, scoring five times in a span of just under 15 minutes.
