It's another busy weekend across the Kelowna sports scene:

Kelowna Rockets

After falling short on Wednesday night against Wenatchee, the Kelowna Rockets welcome the Vancouver Giants to town on Friday night (Nov. 22) to open the weekend. 

The Rockets (8-9-1-1) sit 10th in the WHL's Western Conference while Vancouver sits eighth (9-6-4-0). 

Puck drop on Friday night at Prospera Place is at 7:05 p.m.

But that's not where the weekend fun ends for the Rockets as they'll take Saturday off and then host the Everett Silvertips on Sunday afternoon (Nov. 24). 

Everett enters the weekend atop the West, with a record of 17-3-1-0. 

Part of Everett's success this season comes from the blue line in exceptional status defenceman Landon DuPont. The 15-year-old has 19 points (five goals, 14 assists) in 17 games played. 

Puck drop at Prospera Place on Sunday afternoon is at 4:05 p.m.

The Warriors sit seventh in the BCHL's Interior Conference while the Grizzlies and the Capitals sit fourth and seventh respectively in the Coastal Conference.

Puck drop is at 7 p.m. both nights.
