Round Two

These two clubs met in the season opener on Sept. 24 in what became a 3-0 Winterhawks shutout victory, but nothing is guaranteed in the rematch. For one thing, there are a handful of new faces in the Blazers’ lineup that bring some NHL-caliber firepower.

Logan Stankoven, Matthew Seminoff, Fraser Minten, Caedan Bankier and Daylan Kuefler were all away at pro camps during the earlier contest between Portland and Kamloops, but are back in Blazers uniforms for this matchup. It’s a big test for the 6-0-0 Winterhawks, who boast some impressive firepower in their own right.

Bottom line? Strap yourselves in for what should be a very thrilling game!

Cheers! It’s Hawktoberfest!

Welcome Back, Don!

Tonight also marks the return of former Winterhawks Associate Coach Don Hay, who accepted a coaching role with the Blazers in August. Hay’s return to the Blazers organization allowed him to be closer to his family in Kamloops and gives the four-time Memorial Cup winner the chance to compete for another as Kamloops hosts the tournament in 2023.

“Don helped our program immensely over the last four years. We were fortunate as an organization to have the winningest coach in WHL history as part of our staff. Everyone benefited from having Don around,” said Winterhawks Senior Vice President, General Manager and Head Coach Mike Johnston at the time of Hay’s departure.

Keep an eye out for a special video tribute to Don as we show our appreciation for his years in Portland!
