Calvin Thurkauf and Tomas Soustal are back in a rockets uniform, after being away since late December for the World Juniors, but don’t expect to see them on the ice until this weekend.
The pair arrived back in Kelowna Wednesday, but the team said neither will play in the Rockets first game 2017 against the Spokane Chiefs, and isn’t making any promises either will be in the lineup Friday, when the Rockets take on the Blazers in Kamloops.
