Stankoven gets B.C. Division nomination for WHL Humanitarian of the Year

KAMLOOPS — For the second year in a row, Kamloops Blazers captain Logan Stankoven is up for the Western Hockey League’s (WHL) Humanitarian of the Year.

In a news release issued Thursday (March 30) morning, the WHL unveiled Stankoven as the B.C. Division nominee for the Doug Wickenheiser Memorial Trophy. He’s nominated alongside Calder Anderson of the Brandon Wheat Kings in the East Division, Beau Courtney of the Everett Silvertips in the U.S. Division and 2019-20 winner Riley Fiddler-Schultz of the Calgary Hitmen in the Central Division.

The WHL credits Stankoven serving as a prominent ambassador for the Hockey Gives Blood campaign, which engages and educates the hockey community about the importance of blood and stem cell donation. Stankoven spearheaded Hockey Gives Blood Night in Kamloops on March 11 which raised $41,000 in support of Hockey Gives Blood and Canadian Blood Service.
