Rockets lose captain to concussion

The Kelowna Rockets have placed captain Colton Dach in concussion protocol.

Dach, a draft pick of the Chicago Blackhawks, left Saturday night’s game against the Everett Silvertips after being hit in the neutral zone late in the third period. He is listed as week-to-week with an upper body injury.

The Rockets have also reassigned forward Scott Cousins to the Prince George Spruce Kings of the BCHL.

Cousins, 18, has appeared in three games for Kelowna this season, posting one shot on net. The Prince George product will remain on the Rockets protected list and be available to the team as an affiliate player for the remainder of the season.
