Kamloops Blazers holding a press conference tomorrow for an "organizational announcement"... unsure what that means but owner Tom Gaglardi will be there as well as the teams chief operating officer, chairman of teams advisory board and also the mayor of Kamloops will be there....
My guess is that they will finally retire some former players numbers???? Doan?? Iginla?? Sydor??? Recchi??? etc etc or maybe have a massive night involving all???
EDIT- looks like they announced they will be bidding on 2020 Memorial Cup
Yep, Also Victoria has basically announced. From what I have read it seems like the Silvertips might try, but i think that's a waste (If the CHL would even let them bid) so that begs the question will wee see another BC team join the fray??
This P.G. team is not good.

hows Cholowski doing? His stats look decent, especially his +/- despite being on a crap team
The Royals were great last night, apparently the new d man Jensen played well.
Overall however, the team gives up way too many shots and could really use another puck moving defenceman IMO, preferably a right handed shot. Our GM does well with trades, I hope he picks up another d=man.
Hannoun and Soy have been quieter than usual as well.
They've been one of the better teams in the Western Conference for 5 straight years.The GM doesn't do that well, the team isn't quite on the level of Portland, Kelowna (overall), Brandon, SC or MJ, has never been past the 2rd of the playoffs, hasn't had a top bantam draft pick in last few years, GM sacrifices the future for trying to win now when the team isn't good enough to win now anyway.

Portland cheated for years and eventually got caught.
When is the last time Swift Current made it out of the 2nd round?
Moose Jaw has advanced past the 2nd round once in the past 12 years.
Why would they have a top bantam pick when they haven't been god awful like the Giants and Ice (who have had many top bantam picks and still suck)?
And what trades sacrificed the future to win now?
I think best for Prince George are behind them. When they had Harkins, Bourke, Edmonds, Anderson, McNulty, Olson, Morrison, and anybody else I am forgetting to mention. Not saying they can never win the Ed Cup, but it won't be with this group of players. Better to sell off pieces at the trade deadline, pick high in the bantam draft, and try to bring a high talented import over with their pick(s). Or in other words conduct another rebuild; this time however, NO Jesse or Alex Forsberg nonsense high in the draft.
It sucks because they went against Victoria who themselves had a strong team and sort of didn't show up in the postseason. They could have given the Royals a much harder time than they did. I personally thought that the talent they had was enough to get to atleast the conference finals. Hard to see them beat Kelowna or Portland who still had powerhouse team(s) back then.
