Swetlikoff To Join WHL’s Rockets
December 18, 2018
Vernon, BC: The Vernon Vipers forward Alex Swetlikoff has opted to move on to the Kelowna Rockets of the Western Hockey League.
The 17 year old posted 11 goals and 24 assists in 78 games with the Vipers. He also won two medals with Team Canada West, Gold last season and Bronze last week. He also has been on NHL Central Scouting’s Must Watch List
The Vipers would like to wish Alex all the best in the future.
The Vipers are next in action Wednesday in Penticton.
All the best to Alex and may you have a good future with the Rockets. The Rockets are a great hockey team with good leadership and management team with Bruce Hamilton. Good Luck with your future Alex.
ReplyDeleteThis is another loss for the Vipers and the fifth Viper to leave the team for the Western Hockey League this season. Whats going on? As soon as the Rockets acquired the rights to Swetlikoff I figured he would leave for his hometown and a chance to play in the Memorial Cup with the Rockets. I was a little disappointed in Swetlikoff this season. Coming back for a second season, I expected a little more from him. I know the team is struggling and in last place, but he was a kid I was expecting more from this year. All the best in Kelowna Alex!
