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.
This 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!
