Stankoven leads charge in pushing Thompson Blazers to next level
KAMLOOPS — The B.C. Major Midget League season has yet to begin, but Kamloops native Logan Stankoven is already lighting things up, scoring 11 goals and adding five assists in seven preseason games with the Thompson Blazers.
He’s the local star the team’s been waiting for after struggling for years until last season when the team earned a playoff spot. The speed and goal-scoring ability he brings is among the strengths of this year’s squad.
“There’s a lot of strengths on our team,” said Stankoven. “Probably one would be playing at a fast pace. We play at a fast pace, drive the net. Not all the goals are going to be pretty, but they all count.”
