Winning on home ice and off it for fans

Big crowds…big jackpot at Rockets game after Xmas

Rockets press release:

The Kelowna Rockets announced today that the 50/50 Jackpot on December 29, against the Kamloops Blazers will start at $10,000.00.

The online and in-person 50/50 gives fans located in British Columbia along with fans attending games the chance to win during every Rockets home game this season.

Tickets are on sale now online at rockets5050.com and will end at the start of the third period on December 29. Fans can use debit, credit, or cash to purchase tickets in person at the game.

Regan’s Take: The first home game after the Christmas break is always well attended. Last season, 5503 fans took in the game with the Blazers providing the opposition. Only Conner Bedard’s appearance in November (6407) drew a bigger crowd. Plus, the team has won 7 of its last 9 games and hasn’t played at home since November 29th.
