Chyzowski embraces being captain of hometown team
KAMLOOPS — Nick Chyzowski has come a long way from his Kamloops Minor Hockey days, and now five years after being drafted by his hometown Blazers, the 20-year-old is now the captain of that same team.
“Proud moment for me and my family,” said Chyzowski, who was officially named captain on Tuesday. “I’ve been with the Blazers for five years now and I’ve seen all the past captains. It’s just a really big honour for me.”
Chyzowski becomes the second Blazer from Kamloops to wear the ‘C.’ The only other Kamloops product was Ajay Baines, who captained the Blazers from 1996-99.
