Blazers put their Faith in newly-acquired 20-year-old
KAMLOOPS — One of the newest Blazers Jeff Faith is still getting used to his new teammates, on the ice only for the second time on Thursday since arriving in Kamloops.
Faith is also still coming to grips with the change, saying it was hard being traded from Spokane, where he’s spent his first three-and-a-half years.
“It came as a shocker to me, but I knew it was a possibility being a 20-year-old in this league. You’re not really guaranteed anything,” noted Faith. “I phoned my brother. He was traded as a 20-year-old in this league, so that was nice to talk to him a little bit.”
Jeff’s brother Tanner Faith was traded to Moose Jaw after spending most of his WHL career with Kootenay. In their conversation, Jeff said Tanner tried to put a positive spin on the move.
