These players were added to the team's wall of recognition during the summer of 2018. Bruce Hamilton, president and GM of the Rockets, declined to comment on the controversial artwork.
Some Rockets fans are questioning why the paintings of the accused players haven't been removed from the Wall of Recognition, located around Section 112 in Prospera Place.
The WHL acknowledges the ongoing investigation and shares public outrage over the allegations but won't comment further.
This has led to heated debates among local fans about what should be done with the paintings. Some argue that if the police have enough evidence to charge them, the paintings should be covered up, while others uphold the principle of "innocent until proven guilty".
With the trial not set until 2026, there may be no resolution, including a decision on whether the paintings in Prospera Place in Kelowna will be removed.
