Nashville Predators prospect Justin Kirkland had much success for the Kelowna Rockets posting 48, 51, and 67 points in the last three seasons and the Preds’ front office is taking notice. Kirkland recently signed a three-year, entry-level contract shortly after the Preds ended their 2015-2016 campaign.
From the Nashville Predators:
Kirkland, 19 (8/2/96), amassed 67 points (31g-36a) in 69 games with the Western Hockey League’s Kelowna Rockets in 2015-16, his third season with the club. In 2014-15, the 6-foot-3, 183-pound left-wing helped the Rockets claim the WHL regular-season and playoff titles and advance to the Memorial Cup Final, tying for sixth among all skaters in points (2g-3a-5pts, 5gp) at the tournament.
