The Kelowna Rockets will look bit different when they hit the ice against the Kamloops Blazers Saturday night at Prospera Place.

The WHL team will be wearing SpongeBob Square Pants jerseys to celebrate Rockets RE/MAX Nickelodeon Night for the Children’s Miracle Network. The sweaters will be up for auction during the game.

Proceeds from the silent auction will go to the BC Children’s Hospital.

SpongeBob SquarePants is an American animated comedy television series created by marine science educator and animator Stephen Hillenburg for Nickelodeon. It chronicles the adventures of SpongeBob and his aquatic friends in the underwater city of Bikini Bottom and is the fifth-longest-running American animated series.

The Rockets are coming off a 6-3 loss to the Prince George Cougars on Wednesday night.

The 2023 Memorial Cup host Kamloops Blazers are 9-1 in their last ten games. Despite missing Daylan Kuefler and Logan Stankoven, the Blazers dropped the Victoria Royals 11-1 on Wednesday night, getting 8 points (4g-4a) from Dallas Stars draft pick ­Matthew Seminoff.

Kamloops is ranked eighth on week 23 of the 2022-23 Kia CHL Top 10 Rankings.

Children’s (12 and under) tickets for the Rockets final two regular home season games are on sale for $10 (plus taxes and fees).
