HOCKEY – Celebration set for Bandshell with Stankoven and Stanley Cup

Hockey fans are being invited to join in the celebration of hometown hockey success story and former Kamloops Blazer, Logan Stankoven, who recently won the National Hockey League’s Stanley Cup with the Carolina Hurricanes.

Stankoven will be in Kamloops with the Stanley Cup on Aug. 16 to celebrate in the place where his hockey journey began.

“Our family is so excited to share the Stanley Cup with the Kamloops community and celebrate this incredible moment with everyone who has supported Logan along the way,” said Wes Stankoven, Logan’s father.

The City is coordinating a free event in partnership with the Kamloops Blazers, Tourism Kamloops, Downtown Kamloops, the Kamloops and District Chamber of Commerce, and the Kamloops Sports Council.

The program will feature speakers, a highlight video, a live interview with Stankoven by local sports broadcaster Jon Keen, and a group photo with the Stanley Cup.

A hundred attendees will have an opportunity to win a photo with Stankoven and the Cup. Tickets will be handed out at the event, and the winners will be chosen for an immediate photo opportunity. Up to six people can be in one photo.
