Kamloops Blazers Schedule & Roster 2026–27

Saturday evenings and holiday hockey in Kamloops

Choose a Blazers home date at Sandman Centre, follow the next road opponent or look back at a finished game. The 2026–27 schedule sits alongside Kamloops' published roster and regular-season player figures. Below the tools, explore the club's championship background and the start-time details that matter when planning a visit.

The Blazers' 2026–27 announcement continues the six-o'clock pattern for Saturday home games and identifies three holiday or commemorative afternoon dates. Those include Thanksgiving Monday, Remembrance Day and B.C. Family Day. They provide useful ways to choose a family outing, but a weekly pattern should not replace checking a specific fixture. A changed date or an exhibition venue can make an older printable programme less useful than the current game listing. Read the opponent, building and time together before making plans.

Kamloops has a 68-game regular-season schedule, with 34 dates at home. The opening home fixture was against Victoria, while the published programme also includes visits from clubs outside the B.C. Division. Use the month filter to see the part of the calendar that fits your trip, then Home games to separate Sandman Centre dates from the road schedule. The next-game summary stays a reference to the club as a whole even when you narrow the list. Completed games puts reported finishes first, with the individual game page available for the score, report and any published video.

Making Sandman Centre the right destination

Sandman Centre is the current Blazers home arena in Kamloops. Older club histories use names associated with earlier periods or buildings, so a familiar historical reference is not enough to locate your next game. The arena shown on the fixture is the useful detail for a ticket holder. Follow the club's official ticket information for seating and current promotions, and the venue's own guidance for accessibility or arrival arrangements. An event advertised as an afternoon game can affect the rest of a family day quite differently from an evening puck drop.

Most of B.C. now keeps Pacific time at UTC−7 throughout the year. That matters when Kamloops faces Washington or Oregon opponents after their autumn clock change, and when fans compare a home fixture with an Alberta broadcast listing. Select the display zone that you will actually use, rather than applying an assumed Pacific-to-Mountain difference yourself. Away fixtures retain the same selected zone on this page. If a start has not been announced, it remains TBA; a calendar export does not give it a fictional hour simply to make the schedule look complete.

The Blazers name and the Memorial Cup years

The franchise arrived in Kamloops in 1981 as the Junior Oilers and became the Blazers in 1984. The change of name is an important boundary when reading older programmes, even though the hockey story continues across it. The official history explains the club's earlier roots and its development in Kamloops, making it possible to distinguish a local team milestone from an achievement elsewhere in the franchise's past. That is more informative than attaching every inherited trophy to the current name without a date or explanation.

The Memorial Cup championships in 1992, 1994 and 1995 give Kamloops a particularly recognisable place in Canadian junior hockey history. The 1995 tournament was hosted in Kamloops, and the three titles came within four seasons. Those teams are the background to many alumni references, anniversary events and conversations about the Blazers' tradition. They should not be confused with the current roster or with a promise about this year's playoff run. League championships and Memorial Cup victories are also distinct achievements: the national tournament brings together qualifying clubs from across the CHL.

Getting to know today's Kamloops players

Use the roster's position groups to move from a name on a broadcast to the player's role. Forwards and defencemen have regular-season goals, assists, points and the other published figures; goalies have appearances and their own measures. Open Player details for number, shooting or catching hand, height, weight and hometown. The information is intended to help identify the published squad, not to announce that everyone listed will dress for the next game. A confirmed lineup is a separate piece of game-day information.

An opening-night article can be valuable when following a player's arrival, but it cannot establish the current squad months later. Transfers also affect how statistics should be read. A label identifies available figures that combine more than one WHL team, and missing values stay as dashes. For watching, start with the selected game's verified option or the WHL viewing guide, because an older schedule release can refer to a previous streaming arrangement. For planning, print the filtered Kamloops dates or save a calendar file. A club subscription is the separate choice when you want the ongoing published schedule rather than a fixed copy.
