What We’re Watching – February 18, 2022
The long weekend beckons, and with it a full serving of WHL hockey! Here’s a look at What We’re Watching this weekend.
SOPO STRONG
Former Kamloops Blazers forward Kyrell Sopotyk will be the guest of honour Friday at the Sandman Centre, as the Blazers play host to the Everett Silvertips (8:00 p.m. PT). Sopotyk skated in 107 games for Kamloops before being paralyzed from the waist down following a snowboarding accident in January of 2021. The Blazers will wear special jerseys during tonight’s warmup, which will then be signed by Sopotyk and auctioned off with the proceeds benefitting a charity of Sopotyk’s choice.
🔥TONIGHT!🔥
We honour @kyrellsopotyk as we get back to 100% capacity!

BLACK HISTORY NIGHT
The Portland Winterhawks will host Black Hockey History Night Saturday when the Seattle Thunderbirds pay a visit to the Rose City (6:00 p.m. PT, Veterans Memorial Coliseum). The Club will be recognizing the impact of Black athletes in the hockey community, including several Winterhawks alumni. Black Hockey History Night will also feature a variety of fundraising efforts with proceeds to benefit a local college scholarship fund for Black students.
Join us at the VMC on Feb. 19 as we team up with non-profit group Influencers of Neighborhoods to celebrate Black hockey history!
Stay tuned for our Black hockey t-shirt design and pre-order info 👀
