It's another busy weekend across the 麻豆精选 sports scene:

麻豆精选 Rockets

After falling short on Wednesday night against Wenatchee, the 麻豆精选 Rockets welcome the Vancouver Giants to town on Friday night (Nov. 22) to open the weekend. 

The Rockets (8-9-1-1) sit 10th in the WHL's Western Conference while Vancouver sits eighth (9-6-4-0).

Everett enters the weekend atop the West, with a record of 17-3-1-0. 

Part of Everett's success this season comes from the blue line in exceptional status defenceman Landon DuPont. The 15-year-old has 19 points (five goals, 14 assists) in 17 games played. 

Puck drop at Prospera Place on Sunday afternoon is at 4:05 p.m.
