Blazers celebrating Don Hay’s milestone tonight vs. Rockets
KAMLOOPS — When Don Hay began his head coaching career in Kamloops in 1992, he never could’ve imagined what is coming Friday night, a celebration of his distinguished title as winningest coach in Western Hockey League history.
“It’s something I’m very proud of,” said Hay. “Very proud of all the people I’ve worked with. It’s a real team milestone. A lot of people involved in it. A lot of assistant coaches, support staff, trainers, and management people. General managers and owners.”
Hay will be recognized before Friday’s game against Kelowna for reaching 743 wins. The fact the celebration is in his hometown makes it that much more special.
