Three Blazers ready for World Jrs on three different teams

KAMLOOPS — It’s like a catch-22 for major junior hockey teams.

Each year some teams lose players in December and early January to the World Junior Championship.

Some more than others.

It’s a great opportunity for the players that are chosen to play — but it leaves their club teams without some of their best players for an important part of the season.

This year the Blazers will lose three — for anywhere from a week to possibly a month.
