Kelowna Rockets, originally uploaded by Jeffery Simpson.

The Vancouver Canucks may be out of the playoffs before they even began, but the Western Hockey League’s (WHL) Vancouver Giants are still alive and kicking in their season [vg]. .

They’re in the second round of the WHL playoffs, facing off against the Portland Winterhawks [mbp].

According to their site it’s “Hockey with heart”. That almost sounds like a dig at the lame duck professional players on the Canucks. Having followed the Kelowna Rockets for years I can attest to the level of quality and passion in the WHL.
