The Kamloops Blazers will welcome back a popular Alumni goaltender for Legends Night – March 7th against the Vancouver Giants.
Devan Dubnyk will be honoured as the hockey team celebrates the legacy of the goaltender who went on to a lengthy NHL career while representing Canada on the National stage. He’ll be added to the Blazers Legends Banner in a special ceremony.
Dubnyk played four seasons in Kamloops from 2002–2006, appearing in 192 career games. During his time with the Blazers, the 6’6” netminder posted a 2.69 goals-against average, a .912 save percentage, and recorded 15 shutouts, a Blazers franchise record that still stands today.
Accolades for Dubnyk’s junior hockey career included being selected for the 2004 CHL Top Prospects game and being named the 2004 WHL and CHL Scholastic Player of the Year.
The Calgary, AB native was selected in the 1st round, 14th overall by the Edmonton Oilers in the 2004 NHL Draft. He went on to a 16-year pro career which included 542 NHL games with Edmonton, Nashville, Minnesota, San Jose and Colorado.
His NHL career accolades include the 2015 Bill Masterton Trophy, which is awarded to the player who best exemplifies the qualities of perseverance, sportsmanship and dedication to hockey. He was named a second team NHL All-Star in the 2015 season and appeared in three NHL All-Star games in 2016, 2017 and 2019.
Dubnyk also represented Canada internationally winning a gold medal at the 2006 World Junior Hockey Championships. He was a member of Canada’s roster for the 
2010, 2011 and 2012 World Hockey Championships. He also won a gold medal with Canada at the 2012 Spengler Cup.
Dubnyk will become the 14th player and 3rd goaltender in franchise history to be added to the Legends Banner. In a news release, the Blazers say fans attending Legends Night can look forward to a full evening of special events and giveaways.
