Blazers make a change

Gord Loiselle, the Kamloops Blazers' director of player personnel, was fired Friday morning. This move was expected because Loiselle was hired last summer by Dean Clark, then the team's general manager and head coach. Loiselle had been the Portland Winter Hawks' director of player personnel before resigning on June 1. . . . Loiselle had one year left on his contract. . . . More later. . . .
