A rough start at the beginning of the season put the Blazers in a hole early on. While they did an admirable job at finishing strong, the difference for them missing the 2018 WHL Playoffs could easily be factored into that early slide. Simply put, avoiding a repeat of that performance will be essential. With a new General Manager and Head Coaching duo in Matt Bardsley and Serge Lajoie the Blazers have two quality minds at the helm of the organization in an important time. The team also has a top-ranked WHL prospect waiting for them in the 2019-20 regular season as Logan Stankoven will look to boost his home team’s status within the league. Eyeing the 2019 WHL Playoffs and beyond, the future is bright for the Blazers.
