Since relocating to Kelowna in 1995, the Kelowna Rockets have established themselves as one of the most respected franchises in the Canadian Hockey League. Built on a foundation of excellence, development, and community, the Rockets have consistently set the standard for what it means to be a championship-caliber organization — on and off the ice.

Our tradition isn’t just about wins and banners. It’s about the players who have come through our dressing room and gone on to become leaders in hockey and life. It’s about the fans who pack Prospera Place, generation after generation. And it’s about the culture of accountability, pride, and purpose that defines what it means to wear the Rocket.
