KAMLOOPS — Sweeping a U.S. road trip has given the Kamloops Blazers another push up the Canadian Hockey League (CHL) Top-10 rankings.

The Blazers are second in the Kia CHL Top-10 Rankings for Week Nine, moving up from third last week. Kamloops only trails the Winnipeg ICE in the Top-10 after having jumped the now third place Everett Silvertips. The Edmonton Oil Kings are fourth in the Top-10, giving the Western Hockey League (WHL) the top four spots.

Since last week’s rankings, the Blazers won all three of their games, defeating the Seattle Thunderbirds 4-1, the Portland Winterhawks 4-3, and the former top seed in the WHL Western Conference Everett Silvertips 3-2.

Exiting Week Nine, the Blazers are 17-2-0, good for 34 points in 19 games and first in the Western Conference. They’re third in the overall WHL standings, trailing Winnipeg for first, and Edmonton for second.
