Rockets make one more euro pick


The Kelowna Rockets have selected Slovenian native Gal Koren with its second pick in the 2010 Canadian Hockey League import draft.
A 6-foot-1 191 pound centre/left wing, Koren had 41 points in 32 games for Jungadler Mannheim playing in Germany last season.
He has also played for the Slovenian Under-20, Under-18 and Under-17 national teams and was rated 69th on the international skaters ranking for the 2010 NHL draft.
The selection of Koren marks the second centre the Rockets selected in the import draft after choosing Andreas Stene of Norway earlier in the day and marks the end of the import draft for Kelowna.

Dies this mean he Bruce doesnt have faith in Teemu coming?

A possible back up plan possibly. That or he isn't sure if he can get both Koren or Stene, but has two players he can attempt to persuade to come over to play here rather than just one.
