“Hey, so what’s the deal with teams in this league? Do the guys not have schedules? Or is there a Blazers Flu or something going around?” said the well-known actor and Blazers super fan, Spokane’s own Craig T. Nelson. (Nelson won an Emmy Award as Coach Hayden Fox on the ‘90s TV series ‘Coach’, and appeared in some of the greatest films ever made, including ‘Turner & Hooch’.) “Oh, we’re playing the Blazers tonight? I’m sick, I can’t make it. It’s a shame – the Tugmen are a talented squad, and if they get their guys out to the rink to play it always makes for a good matchup. Hopefully they get things sorted out.”

The Blazers return to action tonight (Thursday May 16), when they take on the expansion powerhouse Cowichan River Rats, 7:30 pm at Archie Browning Sports Centre in Esquimalt. This is the first time the Blazers face the Rats. Good luck fellas. Admission is free, so come check it out! And we’d love it if you considered “going green” on your way to the rink – which is easily accessible via a major bus route, bicycle lanes, or bring some friends and carpool!
