The sound of skates cutting across the ice and fans cheering from the stands will fill Sandman Centre again as the Kamloops Blazers prepare for two upcoming home games.

The Blazers will host the Tri-City Americans on Wednesday, October 21, followed by a matchup against the Vancouver Giants on Friday, October 23. Both games begin at 7 pm.

For local fans, junior hockey is about more than the final score. A night at the rink brings together families, longtime supporters and younger fans who come to watch the next generation of hockey players develop.

The Blazers compete in the Western Hockey League, where junior players continue building their skills while working toward the next stages of their hockey careers.

The upcoming games will give Kamloops fans two chances in one week to see the team on home ice against different opponents.

With more home games scheduled throughout the season, residents will have additional opportunities to catch the team in action through the winter and into March 2027.

Ticket prices and availability vary by game. Fans can find tickets, the full schedule and more information through the Kamloops Blazers website.
