The Kelowna Rockets welcome the Seattle Thunderbirds to town on Wednesday night after coming to their rescue.
On Tuesday night (Jan. 9), as the Thunderbirds were on their way to Kelowna, their team bus slid off the highway and into a ditch. Thankfully, no one was injured in the crash.
To help out, the Rockets sent their team bus to pick the Seattle team up and finish their trip to Kelowna.
The Rockets have dispatched their bus to go get the T-Birds.
