The Kelowna Rockets have a second shot to best Memorial Cup host the Quebec Remparts in the cup semi-final tonight.
In a fight to stay alive in the tournament, the Remparts beat out QMJHL competitor the Rimouski Oceanic 5-2 in a tie break Wednesday to see who would move on to the semi-final.
The Rockets fell 4-3 to the Remparts in the opening game of the tournament last Friday, but there were some concerns from at least some members of the Kelowna organization about the officiating in that game.

The Rockets will have the upper hand in terms of rest, as the Remparts are coming off back-to-back games against the Oceanic, while the Rockets have had two days off.
The winner of tonight’s game will go on to Sunday’s final against the Oshawa Generals, the only undefeated team in the tournament. Puck drop for tonight’s game is at 4:30 p.m. PST.
