“Today is an exciting day for our Hockey Club and community as we look forward to the 2019/2020 season and the 2020 Memorial Cup being hosted in our beautiful backyard,” says Bruce Hamilton, Owner, President and General Manager of the Kelowna Rockets. “Before we close the door on this season, I want our fans to know that I understand and share in their disappointment of this year’s final results. The next couple months are going to be very busy for myself and our scouting staff, but we are excited about the challenge that lies ahead of us to add some new players to our roster.”
Bruce is optimistic about the upcoming season. “We are excited to be holding the 5th overall pick in this year’s Bantam draft, one of the earliest selections in the past number of years. Vancouver is hosting the upcoming NHL Draft this June and we are very proud to have a number of Kelowna Rocket players projected to be selected in the early rounds. The European draft will give us the opportunity to add another depth player to join Lassi Thomson. As we move forward in our off-season we want to ensure our fans and the community understands we are committed to do whatever it takes to have a championship calibre team in place for the 2019/2020 season, the 2020 Memorial Cup and the seasons to follow.”
The Memorial Cup Tournament is about so much more than just hockey and with Kelowna hosting in 2020, the draw to our destination will be huge. Kelowna Rockets Alumni have already been involved in the Memorial Cup bid process and are thrilled to be returning to support the 2019/2020 Kelowna Rockets.
Josh Gorges, the Captain of the 2004 Kelowna Rockets Championship team is excited to be involved in the 2020 Memorial Cup. “It has been an exciting experience for me to be able to play a role in the bid process to bring the 2020 Memorial Cup back to Kelowna. I will never forget the atmosphere of the building during the regular season leading into the 2004 Memorial Cup and that feeling of stepping out onto the ice knowing that our fans were behind us. To have the opportunity to play on that stage in front of your home crowd was a once in a lifetime experience and it remains one of the highlights of my career. I, along with many of my 2004 teammates, and other Rockets Alumni look forward to supporting the Rockets on their quest for the Cup and being there to cheer them on next May!”
The 2020 Memorial Cup Host Committee will also be launching Sponsorship Packages in late April that will include incredible opportunities throughout the community.
Debuting at the 2019 Memorial Cup in Halifax, the new presenting sponsor, Kia, stated, “We’re extremely excited to partner with the CHL and be the presenting sponsor of the Memorial Cup when it comes to Kelowna next year,” said Michael Kopke, Director of Marketing. “As we celebrate our 20th year in Canada, Kia is proud to be supporting hockey in communities across the country and, with our Sportage, Sorento and all-new 8-passenger Telluride, we have some fantastic SUVs that fit the lives of hockey families from coast-to-coast!”
The 2020 Memorial Cup presented by Kia will take place from May 21 – 31, 2020 with games played at Prospera Place Arena in Kelowna, BC.
