Prince George, BC — The Cariboo Cougars are back at home hosting the slumping Okanagan Rockets in a crucial weekend series with potential playoff implications.

The Cats are working on a six game unbeaten streak and sit two points ahead of the Rockets in second place in the BCMML.  The Rockets, however, hold two games in hand and have the chance to make up their lost ground on the Cougars in their final two meetings of the regular season.  But Okanagan will have to reverse what has been an uncharacteristic difficult past two weeks in which the team has gone 1-2-1 including losses to the ninth place Thompson Blazers and tenth place Fraser Valley Thunderbirds.

In what could be a battle to determine who gains second place in the standings come the end of the season, the Cats and Rockets split their previous weekend series in Kelowna with the Rockets taking a 5-1 win followed by the Cougars most dominating performance of the year the next day with an 8-0 shutout.
