WHL Roundup: A look at Saturday's games

By the time Kelowna finally tested Spokane goaltender Mac Engle, the Rockets were already in a deep hole.

Jason Fram, Mitch Holmberg and Anthony Bardaro scored before Kelowna had a shot on goal and the Chiefs went on to a 5-1 win over the visiting Rockets in Western Hockey League action Saturday.

Fram, a 16-year old rookie defenceman, had his second goal in as many games to open the scoring at 7:31. Holmberg followed with his first goal before Bardaro got his sixth, and fifth on the power play, at 13:16 for Spokane (2-2-1).

Kelowna (3-2-0) didn't get a shot until the clock dipped under five minutes. The Rockets were out-shot 18-3 in the first period and 17-4 in the second.
