The Kelowna Rockets have added goaltender Brodan Salmond to their roster for the remainder of the WHL season.

Salmond, 17, has been playing with the Camrose Kodiaks of the AJHL this season where he has posted an 11-6-0-0 record and a 3.02 goals against average in 20 games played as a rookie.

The Rockets made the move as starting netminder Jackson Whistle continues to rehab from injury.

Michael Herringer has played 12 straight games in goal for Kelowna since Whistle was first sidelined.

Brady Lenardon, from the Kelowna junior B Chiefs, has been serving as backup since but hasn't seen any action.

Salmond was a 10th round draft pick of the Rockets in the 2013 WHL Bantam Draft. A 5-foot-11, 180 pound native of Calgary, Salmond joins the Rockets as an affiliate player.

含羞草研究社淎s a 17-year-old Brodan has done everything we含羞草研究社檝e asked him to do this season,含羞草研究社� said Camrose Coach/GM Boris Rybalka. 含羞草研究社淗e has a tremendous work ethic, his compete and battle level is very high and he has a great attitude. I think he含羞草研究社檚 going to come to Kelowna and push their goaltenders and help them have success.含羞草研究社�
