Yes very true, and I have season tickets as well. But I mean come on, what a winter without Hockey Night In Canada........Russian_fanatic said:You got the Kelowna Rockets
incawg said:The team name will be the Vancouver Blazers, as it was the last time the WHA was in town. It also sounds like a deal to play in GM Place is very close.

Scottkmlps said:No, it might not be the Blazers. They need permission from the Kamloops Blazers to use the name 'Blazers' cause of legal matters.
That's just what I heard on the radio this morning.
incawg said:Erm, that seems a bit odd to me. It's not like the Dallas franchise needed permission from the Rochester Americans to use that name. Besides, the original WHA team in Vancouver (in the mid 70s) was called the Blazers. It seems to me that they would only need permission if they were going to be using the same logo.
