It really saddens me to see that the Blazers are constantly belittled and no one seems to give a damn about their team. Hey KBF, where've you been?? Nothing constructive to say about them?? I thought you'd have something to say with camp already underway.....Here's my contribution for those who are interested in what's happening in Kamloops.

Result Day 2
Team Grey has claimed the advantage in the Blazers' rookie tournament following a thrilling 4-3 win over Team Orange last night.
Orange built a quick 3-0 lead on two goals by Zack Soprovich and a single from Spencer Bennett. However, Team Grey battled back to tie, got three penalty shot saves from Dalyn Flette, then claimed victory on Kyle Reynolds' second of the game with 3-and-a-half minutes left. Justin Chadwick and Richard Vanderhoek also score for the winners.
Grey is now at 2-and-0 while Orange drops to 0-and-2.
Meanwhile, Team White got into the win column with a hard-fought 3-2 win over Team Blue. Mark Kamprath, Jake Trask and Shayne Wiebe scored for the winners while Aaron Klatt had both goals in a losing cause.
Both Blue and White are now 1-and-1.
