Friday night's Kelowna Rockets game against the Prince George Cougars was one for the history books, according to team photographer Marissa Baecker.

Baecker, a seasoned shooter for the Western Hockey League and Getty Images, says she's never seen a puck split in two – until now.

"I've seen the puck break glass, ricochet in odd directions, surprise oblivious fans, but this is the first time I've seen a puck split on a shot hitting the post," she wrote on Facebook.

The shot was from winger Lane Zablocki, a third-round draft pick of the Detroit Red Wings.

But his mighty shot wasn't enough to lift the Rockets to victory.

The Rockets led for most of the game until Prince George scored late in the third period to tie it up. Overtime solved nothing, but the Cougars outscored the Rockets in the shootout to take the two points.
