KAMLOOPS, BC – The Kamloops Blazers are excited to announce the signing of Brendan Ranford to a WHL Player Contract and Education Agreement. Ranford was the Blazers’ first-round pick – 15th overall – in the 2007 WHL Bantam Draft in May.

“His commitment to our organization is great news not only for Brendan but for the Blazers and our fans,” says General Manager and Head Coach Dean Clark. “Brendan has demonstrated that he’s a personable young man with strong character and a flair for the game. We’re excited to have him become part of the Blazer family.”

Brendan, nephew of former WHL and NHL goaltender Bill Ranford, scored 58 goals and 108 points in just 36 games with the Edmonton Bantam AAA Canadians last season.

By signing a WHL Player Contract and Education Agreement Brendan receives a full one-year university scholarship for every season he plays in the league to a maximum of five years.
