The Kamloops Blazers were also WHL champions in 1984, 1986 and 1990. The Memorial Cup trophy is a symbol of the championship of the Canadian Hockey League (CHL). Dating back to 1919, the Memorial Cup was established by Captain James T. Sutherland to honour those who gave their lives during World War I. It was rededicated during the 2010 tournament to honour all soldiers who died fighting for Canada in any conflict. “The Memorial Cup Anniversary is a reminder of the heart within our organization, the community and those that helped to get us where we are today.” Kamloops Blazers co-owner Tom Gaglardi City of Kamloops | Regular Council Meeting 2019 CITIZEN SATISFACTION SURVEY William Schatten, CMRP / Vice President Research and Analytics; and Gary Milkaovic, Communication Coordinator, Forum Research Inc.
