www.castanet.netHere’s the latest I can provide from publicly available summaries:
-
Kelowna Rockets training camp rosters have been updated as teams trim down before the WHL season. Reports from 2024 and 2025 indicate camp rosters were reduced to the low 30s to mid-30s as preseason games approached. If you’re looking for the most current roster figure, check the Rockets’ official site or WHL press releases for the exact number right before the current preseason or season opener. [cite ]
-
For the most up-to-date roster details, recent preseason or camp announcements will list which players were reassigned, which are returning, and the positions (forwards/defense/goaltenders). These releases typically occur in late August or early September as teams finalize their rosters. [cite ]
-
If you’re specifically tracking players who might be at risk of being reassigned or who earned spots on the opening roster, local outlets like Castanet or OurSports Central frequently publish roaster-trim reports and quotes from team officials during camp. Check their latest Kelowna Rockets coverage for the current year’s numbers. [cite ][cite ]
