PETERS – When we were great

THREE MEMORIAL CUPS IN FOUR YEARS will never be accomplished again.
In fact, it was entirely unlikely that it could happen even once.
There are 60 teams from across Canada and parts of the United States vying for that cup, making the odds very long that a team could win it even one single time.
Every year, a good chunk of a team’s roster is forced to turn over, graduating to the pros or other amateur hockey avenues, making a repeat even more improbable.
So it’s entirely right and appropriate that we celebrate the accomplishments of the Kamloops Blazers in the 1990s – even with the strange and unfortunate inclusion of country music.
