GAME DAY: Friday, Dec. 27 at Kamloops
Kamloops, B.C. – The Vancouver Giants (14-13-4-0) kick off the second half of the 2024-25 season on Friday night with a road contest in Kamloops against the Blazers (12-18-2-0) at 7 p.m.
The G-Men haven’t played since Dec. 15, when they capped off the first half with a resounding 5-1 win over the Tri-City Americans.
December has been an up and down month for Vancouver up to this point, with a 4-4 record.
Kamloops, meanwhile, is still looking for their first win this month, with their last victory coming on Nov. 29 against Regina. The Blazers have gone 0-5-1 since then and are 1-9-1 in their last 11 games.
The Giants have already played Kamloops three times this season – all on home ice – winning two of them back in October.
Friday marks the beginning of six games in nine days for Vancouver, with five of the six against divisional opponents. Nine of the Giants’ next 10 games are against the B.C. Division.
