BCMML Blazers looking forward to first playoff series in a decade
KAMLOOPS — It’s been a decade in the wilderness for the Thompson Blazers of the BC Major Midget Hockey League. Their last playoff appearance came in the 2006/2007 season, and after 10 years of 9th, 10th, and 11th place finishes in the BCMML, the Blazers have turned it on since Christmas, and finished the regular season in 7th place.
“Before Christmas we were 7-18,” Thompson Blazers Head Coach Tanner Cochrane told CFJC Today. “We’re the second-best team in the league after Christmas [because] the guys just really stuck with the plan.”
Cochrane credits the play of the team’s 17-year olds for the significant second-half turn-around.
