Kamloops, BC - The Kamloops Blazers have announced their captains for the 2010-11 season. Chase Schaber, a 19-year-old forward who was acquired from the Calgary Hitmen in January, will serve as the team's captain this season.

Four players will join Schaber and wear letters on their chest. Bronson Maschmeyer, who was an alternate captain in the second half of last season, will continue to wear an "A".
