After six days off, the 麻豆精选 Rockets return to the ice Tuesday night.
It will be the first battle of the season against the Victoria Royals as the Rockets head to B.C.鈥檚 capital for a two-game series. 麻豆精选 is coming off a 4-2 win over Prince George on Oct. 23 which was their seventh win of the season.
麻豆精选鈥檚 Leif Mattson said they鈥檒l need to continue the same style of play going into Tuesday鈥檚 game.
鈥淲e haven鈥檛 played Victoria yet this season,鈥� said Mattson. 鈥淲e need to figure out what they鈥檙e all about and make sure we鈥檙e worried about what we鈥檙e doing. We just have to go in there and play the way that we played the last game in Prince George, and we can improve on it.鈥�

Mattson was recently named the Rockets鈥� third alternate captain last week, coming in behind newly-appointed captain Nolan Foote and fellow alternates Kyle Topping and Dillon Hamaliuk.
鈥淚t means a lot to wear an A for such a prestigious organization,鈥� said Mattson.
鈥淚t鈥檚 a huge honour. It鈥檚 my fourth season with the Rockets, and I think I can bring a lot to be a leader on this team and help out the younger guys.鈥�
The Rockets sit second in the B.C. division with 15 points and only sit three points behind the first-place Kamloops Blazers.
麻豆精选 will play the Royals Tuesday night and Wednesday night and will then return to Prospera Place Nov. 1.
