KAMLOOPS — The Kamloops Blazers have snagged another player from the British Columbia Hockey League (BCHL) ahead of the 2026-27 Western Hockey League (WHL) season.
In a news release issued Thursday (June 11), the Blazers announced they have signed 2006-born forward Gavin Nemis, noting they added him to their Player Protected List in May 2026.
In his first BCHL season in 2025-26, Nemis scored 20 goals and 48 points in 50 games, helping his Cowichan Valley Capitals secure the top seed in the Coastal Conference. Nemis added one goal and five points in 10 playoff games as the Capitals fell to the Nanaimo Clippers in seven games in the second.
Nemis is the second BCHL player the Blazers have signed in the offseason, adding 2008-born forward River Arnason in May.
