Kamloops Blazers, a hot stove league
The manager was a scout who
signed the best player from a video
tape. The coach answers questions
in the beer garden after every game
while„ on the ice, his team is
blazing a trail towards a possible
third national championship in four
years. They're the Kamloops
Blazers and you had better know
somebody if you want'to see them
play.
So popular is this junior team in
the heart of British Columbia that
4,600 of the 5,000 scats in its
coliseum belong to season -ticket.
holders and the eight game
Memorial Cup tournament, to be
played there next May, is already
sold out.
And there's good reason for the
loyal following. The Blazers have
been to the Western League final
six times since 1981 and they've
won four titles. They're a blue
collar team, in a blue collar town
and people are pleased to get
dressed up to watch them play.
The love affair hasn't always
been so hot, Junior hockey disap-
peared from Kamloops from 1977
through '81 and even after it came
back, the fans didn't. But as the
win total grew, so did the crowds
and the people began to. feel it, was
really their team.
"The city didn't care .about the
team,", recalls Bob Brown, who
became GM eight years ago. "We
got'the guys who weren't going to
school out in the community every
day meeting kids and business
people and after a while, everybody
knew the players and got very
involved."
They still get . involved after the
game at the traditional coach's
interview in the lounge. A hot stove
league with audience participation.
"We used to do' it `cause we had
to sell the beer to make a go of it
here," chuckles Don Hay, who will
double as coach of the national
junior team this year. "Now we just
do it 'cause we always have." It
tickles the imagination, doesn't it,
to think of Pat Burns or Mike
Keenan facing a mob full of beer
and opinions after a tough k;•
Like drawing fans, recruiuu,, t*s
become much easier with 'cham-
pionships but the Blazers still went
off the board for their captain and
leader, Darcy Tucker. He was a 14 -
year -old filling the nets of Endiang,
Alta., when the scouts were split
over his potential. They sent a
video tape to Brown, who liked all
the goals he saw and thought he
could smooth the rough edges, Now
Tucker is 19, filling the net for
Kamloops and, if they ever play
again, he'll likely be doing it for
the Montreal Canadicns sometime,
too.
The Blazers on the Memorial
Cup .in 1992 and then again last
spring. As the host team, they get
an automatic berth in the next
championship but there's a good
chance they won't need it although
coach Hay plays down the junior
juggernaut theory.
"We still have rcy.im for
improvement," he tries to convince,
borrowing a line from the text of
Coaching 101.
It's hard to imagine junior hockey
in Kamloops getting much better
but if thereare improvements to be
made, the coach will likely 'hear
about them in the beer garden after
the game.
