Tom Gaglardi expects the Kamloops Blazers to finish the regular season in the middle of the pack in the Western Conference, at the very least.
The teams majority owner said as much in an interview with KTW after the Blazers failed to qualify for the post-season in 2014-2015.
Head coach Don Hay was asked about expectations for 2015-2016, his second year back behind the Blazers bench, and his objective is simple: Our goal is to make the playoffs and we expect to be there, he told a scrum of reporters on Tuesday.
Kamloops finished last season with 63 points 30 points better than its total in 2013-2014, the worst campaign in franchise history and nearly qualified for the post-season.
It looked like a Don Hay-coached team the last third of the season, Gaglardi said.
We really just thought with Don wed be able to will our way into the playoffs and we came up a couple points short.
There was always going to be a learning curve for players adapting to Hays no-non-sense style of coaching, a philosophy cen-tred around hard work, the type of blood, sweat and tears some cant handle.
Perhaps the most-promising news for Blazers fans is returning players proved last season they could deal with the heat and, with one year under their belts learning from one of the games great teachers, there is potential for major growth.
At our first meeting, we had 24 players there and 22 had played for our team the year previously, Hay said.
They know what I expect now. They know the routine, on and off the ice. Theyve embraced it.
Hay kept on coming back to one word improvement when addressing the media earlier this week.
Each year, there are always new chal-lenges to bring the group together and to get them playing the way you want them to play, and with the thought process you want them to have, Hay said.
Wed love to have it happen overnight, but it doesnt always work that way. We thought we improved throughout the year last year. We want to see more improve-ment.
So do season-ticket holders. So does the teams ownership group. So does general manager Craig Bonner. So do the young men who will pull on the jerseys for Game 1 tonight in Kelowna.
Everyone was kind of feeling [last sea-son] like it was too hard of practices and he [Hay] was yelling at everyone, said Blazers 17-year-old forward Jake Kryski.
This year, you know what to expect, so it seems a bit easier.
Kryski, Quinn Benjafield, Jermaine Loewen, Deven Sideroff, Dawson Davidson fans who attended games regularly last season will have seen those players struggle through teaching moments, with Hay speaking sternly to them on the bench.
He does that for a reason.Its important the players understand
that, when you push them, you want to make them better, Hay said.
Its to help them become good hockey players, but also good young men, so they can have success in whatever field they choose.
The army of NHL players who learned under Hay are proof tough love can work.
Whether this particular group has fully bought in, and whether its talented enough to meet Gaglardis expectations, will be decided this season.

KTW has looked ahead to the 2015-2016 Kamloops Blazers campaign by addressing five areas of the team in a series that started on Aug. 27 and finishes
today. In the final instalment, the focus moves to Don Hay and the impact he can make in his second year back behind the bench. Each story in the series is

Craig Bonner gambled on goaltenders last season and Connor Ingram flopped on the river.
The Kamloops Blazers gen-eral manager went with two untested 17-year-old netmind-ers Ingram and Cole Kehler when he shipped 20-year-old Bolton Pouliot to the Portland Winterhawks in October.
Ingram followed an up-and-down first half by posting stellar numbers from January onward 15-10-1-1, with a 2.69 goals-against average and .914 save percentage to lock up the starting job, while Kehler finished the campaign 3-14-2 with a GAA of 4.65 and a .855 save percent-age.
Ingram, who was invited by the Detroit Red Wings to attend the NHL Prospect Tournament in Traverse City, Mich., from Sept. 11 to Sept. 15, is the man in Kamloops heading into the 2015-2016 season.
The affable netminder from Imperial, Sask., now has to prove last season was
no flash in the pan.Its a completely different
mindset this season. Im coming in here wanting to be a leader and be vocal, Ingram said.
Last year was a start. I have more to give this year.
The competition for the back-up position was fierce, with Kehler, who turns 18 in December, and Lantzville prod-uct Dylan Ferguson, who turned 17 on Sept. 20, trying to stake their claim in the crease.
Ferguson will start the 2015-2016 WHL season as the backup goaltender, with Kehler having been reassigned to the junior A ranks on Tuesday.
Its mixed feelings for me, Ferguson told KTW shortly after hearing news of Kehlers reas-signment.
Me and Cole got along pretty well. He was driving me places, to school, and it was a friendly com-petition for sure. We had nothing against each other that I know of and I wish him the best this year.
Kehler, 18, played in 32 games over the past two seasons for the Blazers, posting a 4.79 goals-against average and a .856 save percentage.
Ferguson, 17, played last sea-son with the midget AAA Notre Dame Hounds, posting a save percentage of .907 and GAA of 2.70 in 25 games.
He appeared in three pre-season WHL games in September, posting a GAA of 3.10 and a save percentage of .887.
Its another dream come true for me, Ferguson said.
Ive put a lot of work in to get here and Im glad it paid off.
Blazers majority owner Tom Gaglardi was critical of the teams decision to go with two young goaltenders last season Going into the season with two 17-year-old goaltenders, in retrospect, might not have been the right thing to do, he said but Ingrams emergence is due, in part, to how much ice he saw in 2014-2015.
Should Ingram pick up where he left off last season, the Blazers can look forward to solid goalten-ding in 2015-2016.
My game feels good right now, Ingram said.
Having another year of expe-rience is going to help a lot. Its good to come back that much more ahead this year.

Ask Jermaine Loewen . . .
Jermaine Loewen of the Kamloops Blazers fought Aaron Macklin of the Prince George Cougars in pre-season WHL play at Sandman Centre on Sept. 4. During a quiz with KTW, the Blazers Jamaican-born forward said a tilt against teammate Luke Harrison is a scary prospect.
ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW
KTW sat down with Jermaine Loewen of the
Kamloops Blazers to ask him a few questions about
hockey and life outside the rink. Heres what the 6-foot-
3, 205-pound Jamaican-born forward had to say:
KTW: Whats on your iPod right now?
JL: I like to listen to reg-gae. Jah Cure is my favourite artist. Hes got a nice groove to him and its Jamaican style. Its good. I like listening to rap, but pretty much any-thing that has a good beat gets me going.
KTW: Of the current Kamloops Blazers, who would you be scared to fight?
JL: Luke Harrison. Hes been in some pretty big scraps. Hes a pretty tough guy. Ryan Rehill Id be pretty scared of him, too.
KTW: If Don Hay and Terry Bangen had a race on skates, who would win?
JL: Don Hay. He does train a lot in crossfit. Terry Bangen might be right behind, but Don trains every day at the rink.
KTW: Whats your favourite food?
JL: I like jerk chicken and rice. I dont get to eat it very often. My billet mom might make it every once in a while and Ill help.
KTW: Do you know there is a Jamaican restaurant in town?
JL: Jam-Can Cafe. Ive been there. Im really good friends with the owner.
KTW: When you get your first goal, what do you think your celebration is going to be?
JL: Oh, Id probably just raise my hands above my head. Ill be very happy once that puck goes in the net. It will be raucous in this place. People are going be pretty pumped up. Its gonna come.
KTW: Who will lead the Blazers in scoring?
JL: Im thinking its going to be Deven Sideroff.
KTW: Is there one player in the league who really gets on your nerves?
JL: I cant think of any guy in particular. There are just some guys that try and get on my nerves. Theres not one [nemesis] yet, but its going to come.
KTW: Do you have any pre-game superstitions?
JL: Not really. I like to take a 20- or 30-minute nap and then focus on what I want to do in the game and be relaxed in the moment, have fun with the game.
KTW: Which Blazer is the best passer of the puck?
JL: I would say Jake Kryskis a real good passer. Jesse Zaharichuk also has the vision to pass the puck.
KTW: Whats your favourite fast-food burger?
JL: I like the double Big Mac. I never eat them during hockey season. Thats the right thing to say.

The Western Hockey League unveiled a series of rule changes for the 2015-2016 season at a press conference this month in Regina.
Most of the changes have also been adopted by the National Hockey League and were tested during the WHL pre-sea-son.
Similar to the NHL, the WHL has adopted a three-
on-three overtime format for regular-season games, replacing the four-on-four format. As in previous years, teams will go to a shootout if overtime fails to
produce a winner.A series of rules govern
power plays in overtime, and at no time will a team be permitted to have fewer than three players on the ice.
If one team is assessed a penalty, the opposing squad will add a skater.
The league has also adjusted the size of both the hash marks and the goaltenders trapezoid.
3-ON-3 OT AMONG RULE CHANGES
Garrett Pilon (right) is among the 17-year-old Blazer forwards poised to break through at the major-junior level, along with Jermaine Loewen, Quinn Benjafield and Jake Kryski.

There are 10 Kamloops Blazers ranked among the top 125 players in Western Hockey League his-tory, according to a list released by league historians earlier this month.
Nolan Baumgartner, Rob Brown, Dean Evason, Shane Doan, Greg Hawgood, Jarome Iginla, Scott Niedermayer, Mark Recchi, Darryl Sydor and Darcy Tucker were named to the list, comprised by mem-bers of the media and individuals who have demonstrated long-standing contributions to the WHL, along with members of the WHL office staff.
Gregg Drinnan, Norm Dueck, Peter Loubardias, Bob Ridley, Dan Russell, Rob Vanstone, Dean Vrooman and Bill Willms assisted with the project.
The list includes WHL greats from the leagues inception in 1966 through to play-
ers that suited up as recently as last season.
In total, 88 for-wards, 27 defencemen and 10 goaltenders made the list.
Players were select-ed based on a combi-nation of the impact they had while playing in the WHL and their careers upon graduat-ing from the league.
The complete list, created as part of the celebration of the leagues 50th season, is available at whl.ca.
Fans will be able to have their say in October alongside the committee by way of an online vote avail-able at the league website.
Beginning in January, the WHL will count down and release the Top 50 WHL Players of all time.
BLAZERS AMONG BEST EVER
Scott Niedermayer was a shoo-in to crack the list of the top 125 players in WHL history.
ENTER VALAThe Kamloops Blazers went to the Czech Republic for their latest European import. Ondrej Vala, the
17-year-old D-man picked 11th overall by the Blazers at the CHL Import Draft in June, joins a
young cast of Kamloops defencemen. Should sizeable, veteran defencemen Marc McNulty and
Ryan Rehill return for their overage seasons, they will occupy top-four spots, likely alongside 19-year-
old Slovakian import Patrik Maier and 17-year-old Dawson Davidson. Cam Reagan is the lone 18-year-
old rearguard remaining on the roster, with Travis Verveda having been reassigned last week. Nolan
Kneen and Conner McDonald are the Blazers 16-year-old defencemen. Kneen became the
highest WHL Bantam Draft pick in team history when he was selected third overall in 2014.
McDonald, Kneens old defence partner at the North Shore Winter Club, was picked 24th overall that year.
