The Rockets home opener on Sept. 21 is the only game the team will play at home in September as the team will head for two games in Portland to close the month of September.
In October the Rockets will continue to play more games away from home with eight road contests versus just four at home.
November features eight home games and four on the road before the Rockets head out on its usual December road trip to Alberta, closing its pre-Christmas schedule Dec. 16 in Calgary.
Kelowna fans will have two chances to see the home team in late December and early January as Kelowna hosts Everett on Dec. 30 and Victoria on Jan. 2 but will not play on New Years Day as it has in the past few years.
The team closes out the WHL regular season with a home and home set with the Vancouver Giants: March 15 in Vancouver and March 16 in Kelowna.
