Backup Decided
17 year-old Adam Brown is the Kelowna Rockets backup goaltender this season. Management elected to go with the American born goaltender over netminder Dylan Tait. Tait is projected to play Junior 'B' this season.
Hmmm...not sure Me and many other Rocket fans agree with this Regan. I though Brown was terrible at playing the puck and had less than stellar lateral movement....but i suppose things like that can be taught over time. I thought for sure Tait was going to get the job because from what me and other fans saw, Tait was more prepared for this level of play. I suppose time will only tell.
I have to agree with jared, although both kids looked a little weak, maybe nerves ??. Interesting because I can recall watching past back-ups like Westbloom and Jung and thinking they were good for having played so few minutes at this level. You never know we may be missing something about Brown and he may come through in the end.

In The Daily Courier, they surmise that it was because Brown was more likely than Tait to be okay with playing less minutes.
