Photos From Rimouski

Talk about being close to the crowd. This is a photo of the fans accessibility behind the bench at the Colisee. That`s right, the fans can walk right behind you and can give you an ear full..

This is a good indication that the Rockets enter the arena from this door.

That's a great sendoff, and nice show of support from the fans in Kelowna. I'm sure the boys will do themselves proud.

Best of luck Rockets.

Got to belive that open access to the players bench will cause some issues. Do they use some type of temporary barrier during the actual game?

Three security guards is all that is between the players and the fans.
