If you want more proof of how good the Kamloops Blazers have been this season, just take a look at the year-end BC Division all-star teams.
The WHL announced First and Second All-Star Teams for all four divisions today and half of the 12 players recognized out of the BC Division are Blazers.
That includes a pair of first-team all-stars in forward Logan Stankoven and Olen Zellweger.
⭐️⭐️ WHOA! ⭐️⭐️

Stankoven, the reigning WHL and CHL Player of the Year, finished fourth in league scoring with 97 points and is set to captain his hometown team on a Memorial Cup run.
Zellweger led all Western Conference defencemen with 80 points and became the first WHL blue liner in six seasons to score 30 or more goals.
FOUR! Second Team-All Stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
