KAMLOOPS — Kamloops Blazers goaltending coach Dan De Palma will be part of Canada’s World Juniors team this winter.

The longtime Blazers goaltending coach, who won gold with Team Canada at the U18 World Championships earlier this year, was added to the coaching staff for the 2025 edition of the World Juniors, which will take place in Ottawa.

It’ll be the fifth consecutive year in which the Blazers have had some kind of representation on Canada’s World Junior Team. Head Coach and General Manager Shaun Clouston was an assistant coach on the 2024 team that finished in fifth place.
