WRITTEN OPTION:
First off, the Kelowna Knights have come into this season expecting to be in the early stages of a rebuild. A team full of Rookies ready to make their mark and bring about a new era in franchise history. The first person I wanna bring up is indeed 1 of these rookies.
Arthur Kaliyev lead Kelowna in their 7 Preseason games as their only double digit point scorer with 12. 2 of these were shorthanded goals. The strong winger was also a physical force with 20 hits. Showing he is ready to uphold the traditions of Kelowna's physical game. A game that finds parallels in the NHL's Bruins, Old Flyers, and Blues. Keep your eyes out for Arthur during the upcoming season.
Next lad up is Rocky Orwell. Mans was the picture of the complete Defenseman during the preseason. In 7 games he was point per game. Good for 3rd on the team. Earning points during each phase of the game. (5v5, PP, and SH). Additionally went 6-1 in Takeaways to Giveaways. Showing he has his eye out to break up the play with that stick. On the Physical side of things, his 18 hits are not to be taken lightly and he lead the team in shots blocked with 25. Laying his body on the line in preseason, PRESEASON.
Finally. a shout out to our S73 rookie class who makes up a good chunk of the team and in important positions too. Preseason showcased 2. David Soupre, and
Jonas Salat. Who rounded out the top 5 scorers in those 7 games and have looked very comfortable playing on the 3rd line. Making the most of their limited Ice time with 6 points each. If these rookies can keep it up, let alone encourage the others on the team to take that next step, Kelowna could become a surprisingly early threat.
