Friday night in Rochester was another hard night of lessons being taught to a young Rocket squad by an older, deeper Americans team. Michael McNiven stood on his head while Alex Belzile and Jake Evans did their best to spur on the Rocket offence against their division rival. A 4-2 loss was the end result, and for their troubles the team rolled into Toronto to square off with the Marlies on Saturday night.
Joël Bouchard was lucky enough to have Josh Brook join his ranks, and the rookie prospect was put right into a big role.
