(left) This saga is starting to sound like the hottest girl in school has just broken up with the starting quarterback and there's a feeding frenzy two weeks before the PromUPDATE: From: Regan's Blog Trotter played a game after January 10th, the WHL trade deadline, and under league rules any player who plays a game after the 10th with the team he is currently with - even if he is on a WHL teams protected list - is ineligable to play. So in simple terms, Brock Trotter will not be playing the Rockets this season.

The Kelowna Rockets (WHL team in Kelowna, BC) are exploring the possibility of adding C Brock Trotter to their roster. Trotter, a 20-year-old from Brandon, led the Denver University Pioneers in scoring last season and was No. 1 again this season until apparently leaving the team prior to last weekend. There are rumours that he will return to the USHL’s Lincoln Stars, where he played prior to heading for Denver.
Trotter had 31 points this season; he had 76 points in 69 career games with the Pioneers. Trotter presently is on Kelowna’s college list and Rockets’ president/general manager Bruce Hamilton said Wednesday night that “we are looking into it with the league.”
Of course, Kelowna has three 20-year-olds on its roster – LW James McEwan, the injured team captain, RW Brady Leavold and G Kris Westblom. The Rockets, however, have a ways to go before they have to decide whether to make a move. Hamilton simply is exploring his options.

Good analogy.
What type of financial package do major junior players get? I assuming they get all expenses paid, but do they attend school while playing?
It can depend. They are allowed to provide cash, cars, education and anything else. Reportedly Sidney Crosby received $100,000.
The WHL Scholarship is guaranteed, for every season a player participates in the WHL, he is entitled to a full year of tuition, textbooks and compulsory fees to a Canadian or American post-secondary institution of his choice. The kicker is provided the player does not sign a professional contract
