Rockets main camp kicks into high gear

"The Kelowna Rockets opened main camp Monday with fitness testing under the watchful eye of athletic therapist Jeff Thorburn.

The veteran players led the charge with 20 year-old Kevin Smith and 18 year-old Brett Bulmer leading the way during a number of drills. 

Head Coach Ryan Huska anticipates a heated training camp.

"I think every year theirs battles for jobs. Sometimes when you think of battles for jobs you think of new people coming in and try to take jobs from the older guys but I think it's going to be a little more than that.

On ice sessions begin Tuesday with the Rockets first exhibition game set for Friday against the Vancouver Giants."
