Jake Pilon remains at the ready
Jake Pilon is Jari Kykkanen’s understudy for a second consecutive season.
The 17-year-old, who blows out eighteen candles on his birthday cake tomorrow, has again assumed the backup goaltending duties on the Kelowna Rockets.
Acquired in a trade with the Edmonton Oil Kings on September 11th, 2023 for a seventh-round selection in 2027, the Calgary product is focused on pushing for more ice time.
“The goal is to push each other daily in practice and improve each other,” he told RocketFAN about his relationship with Kykkanen. “I think I am better this season at reading the release of pucks coming off player’s sticks, and my confidence has gone up a lot.”
