Dan Kordic will not return to the Kamloops Blazers bench next season.

The Blazers announced the move two weeks after a mutual parting of ways with Head Coach Serge Lajoie, after one season.

“We’d like to thank Dan for his contributions to the hockey club and wish him and his family the best moving forward,” the club said, in a statement.

Prior to joining the Blazers, Kordic spent two seasons as an Assistant Coach with the University of Alberta with Serge Lajoie, where they won a U Sports championship during the 2017-18 season.
