The
Kamloops
Blazers
will
kick
off
round
one
of
their
playoff
matchup
against
the
Vancouver
Giants
as
they
and
other
teams
across
the
league
Vie
for
the
championship
and
the
chance
to
advance
to
the
Memorial
Cup
finals,
which,
incidentally,
will
be
held
up
in
Kamloops
from
May
26
to
June
4th
now,
while
Kamloops
is
competitive
on
the
ice,
we're
competitive
off
the
ice
as
well
and
I
note
that
we
won
the
rights
to
host
this
year's
Memorial
Cup
over
the
Kelowna
Rockets.
A
My
apologies
for
that
my
colleagues
from
Kelowna,
but
back
to
the
campus
Blazers,
who
had
another
outstanding
season
this
year
earlier
this
month
they
won
the
BC
division
for
the
fourth
year
in
a
row
after
shellacking
the
Kelowna
Rockets,
seven,
seven
to
two
again
my
sympathies
to
the
members
from
Kelowna,
but
back
to
the
Blazers
yeah
Vancouver
will
be
the
the
first
playoff
Foe
and
no
offense
to
the
members
from
Vancouver
but
you're
going
down.
I'm.
Sorry
to
say
that.
A
Let
me
tell
you
this
honorable,
speaker,
Kamloops
is
actually
a
hospitable,
place
where
Canada's
tournament,
capital
and
no
matter
which
team
you
cheer
for
and
even
if
your
team
has
already
been
steamrolled
by
the
Blazers
this
season,
we
will
welcome
you
with
open
arms.
We
will
welcome
you.
We
will
host
you
for
the
Memorial
Cup
in
late
May
and
early
June,
and
we
were
urge
everyone
to
take
on
this
exciting.
Take
in
this
exciting
event,
and
although
I've
spent
a
great
deal
of
time
here
this
morning,
poking
fun
at
our
competitors.
A
Hockey
truly
is
a
sport
that
brings
everyone
together
and
the
playoffs
are
indeed
an
awesome
time
of
the
year.
The
ability
to
cheer
on
young
athletes
as
they
pursue
their
goals
of
greatness,
even
perhaps
to
play
in
the
NHL
one
day.
The
coaches
will
no
doubt
have
their
Young
Guns
ready
to
perform
and
how
sweet
it
will
be
to
once
again
discuss
the
actions
and
the
rivalries
with
friends
and
family
Mr.
Speaker
I
truly
do
wish
all
of
the
teams,
all
all
the
best
in
the
playoffs,
but
especially
my
beloved
camless
Blazers,.
