The Kelowna Rockets have lost captain Max Graham for the rest of the season.

ѻýLosing Max for the remainder of the season is an enormous loss for the club,ѻý said Rockets President and General Manager Bruce Hamilton. ѻýHe plays the game of hockey the right way and his presence on the ice will be missed. We all wish Max makes a quick recovery from his surgery so he can fulfill his hockey pursuits.ѻý
