By 250 Sports

Prince George, B.C.- After the spectacle of the 2010 CHL SUBWAY® Super Series at CN Centre Thursday night, the Prince George Cougars get back to business with a key weekend double header with the Kelowna Rockets at CN Centre.

The Rockets are making their first trip to Prince George this season after the teams met three times at Prospera Place earlier in the year.  The Cougars won the first meeting on September 25, 6-2, but the Rockets have won the last two contests.  The Cougars are coming off a 3-2 shoot-out win over the Vancouver Giants Saturday in Vancouver, with the Cougars winning for the first time this season when trailing after two periods.  The club erased a 2-0 deficit to force the game to overtime, then won in the shoot-out, going 2-0 this season in shoot-outs, both on the road and both won by Ty Rimmer in net.

The Cougars will enter the game with an 11-9-1-0 record on the season, tied with Kamloops for second in the BC Division, four points back of the Vancouver Giants.  The Rockets are fifth in the division, but just three points behind the Cougars at 10-11-0-0.  The Cougars are 4-4-0-0 at home this season.

Puck drop Friday and Saturday is 7:00pm at CN Centre.  Tickets are available by calling Ticketmaster at 250-564-5585.
