Can Blazers be Memorial Cup stuff in two years?
KAMLOOPS — It was last November that Blazers owner Tom Gaglardi announced the team’s intention to bid to host the Memorial Cup Tournament in 2020.
The bid has to be in by the end of May, with a Memorial Cup decision on 2020 expected next October.
“There are three components to the bid.” says Blazers President and COO Don Moores, “The business plan is very important, money is an important thing — however, you have to have a quality team as well. There’s an assessment process — they have independant assessors that look at your club as far as the talent and where they’ll be in 2020.”
