Rookie camp games begin Tuesday morning at Prospera Place with four games daily.

The majority of the players at the rookie camp are born in 2001. They are split into four teams and will play two games a day from Tuesday until Thursday and one more game on Friday morning to end the camp and players return to their minor hockey organizations.

The Rockets will then open its main training camp which will run until August 31.

Kelowna will play a five game exhibition season with three games at Prospera Place: Sept. 3, 9 and 16 before opening the WHL regular season with a home-and-home with Kamloops: Sept. 23 in Kamloops and Sept. 24 in Kelowna.
