Blazers release Kamloops product

The Kamloops Blazers were making moves on Wednesday and that included cutting ties with a homegrown skater.

Kamloops-native Jackson Caller was released by the club this afternoon. The 20-year-old defenseman is expected to join the Vernon Vipers of the BCHL.

Caller was originally acquired from the Saskatoon Blades last season. In 210 WHL games, Caller scored six goals to go along with 31 points. Caller appeared in 45 games for the Blazers last season where he scored once and assisted on three goals.

“It is always tough to have to release a veteran player, but with the emergence of Baragano, Brandwood, and Thurston, we feel this move had to be made to maximize their development while also allowing Jackson the opportunity to play regularly with another team,” said General Manager, Matt Bardsley. “Jackson is a high quality person and a tremendous teammate. We thank him for his time with us in Kamloops and wish him all the best going forward.”

The Blazers roster is now at 24 players including 15 forwards, seven defensemen and two goaltenders.
