Two-time Stanley Cup champion and Kamloops Blazers’ part-owner Darryl Sydor joins Kamloops Last Week [at the 22:39 mark] to talk all things Memorial Cup, with the major junior hockey national championship tournament slated to get underway on Friday at Sandman Centre.

Sydor, a defenceman for Blazers’ teams that reached the Memorial Cup in 1990 and 1992, speaks about the development of his son, Kamloops forward Dylan Sydor, offers his take on the Seattle Thunderbirds and details his involvement in this year’s tournament, which includes cleaning out horse troughs for the Quebec Remparts.

Co-host Chris Foulds recaps [3:44] the firebug situation in town and shares insight [8:12] on East Shuswap Road, on which Kamloops motorcyclist Alexis Wiltse died after contact with a pothole.

Steve Rodgers, co-owner of Gord’s Appliance and Mattress Centre, celebrates one year of KLW sponsorship with an appearance on the show [37:12].

Foulds grills him with questions and co-host Marty Hastings takes issue with Rodgers’ love of raisins in cookies.

Foulderdash returns, thanks to a Twitter outburst directed at Ian Smith, whose treatment of a mask-wearing traveller drew the ire of Foulds.

Our weekly sponsorship improv session [19:00] goes haywire, with Hastings, Foulds and Magic Mike Miltimore making pottery — as Patrick Swayze and Demi Moore did in Ghost — that is used to consume McDonald's coffee and eventually smashed in the Y Dream Home, which was accessed via Volkswagen of Kamloops SUV (they have lots in stock).

We have 397 subscribers on YouTube and have amassed hundreds of thousands of views across all platforms.
