VIDEO: Surprise marriage proposal at Rockets playoff game

KELOWNA – Rockets fans got more than a playoff win in a close game this weekend, they also got to witness a marriage proposal in the stands.

Peter, who is seen sitting next to a woman identified as Karen, had front row seats for game two of the second round of playoffs Saturday night, April 12.

The couple were seated in section 111 near the glass where cameras had a close-up view of him taking a box from his pocket between periods. After a few tears are shed by his soon-to-be bride, she nods yes.

The Kelowna Rockets went on to beat the Victoria Royals 4-3 in overtime. They lead the series 2-0.
