Delyzer Signs With Blades

The Blenheim Blades Jr. C hockey team continues to add talented players to their roster.

Nick Delyzer, who spent last season with the Lambton Shores Predators recently signed with the team.

The 17-year-old left-winger is from Merlin and attends high school in Blenheim.

"After the draft my confidence with hockey kind of went down a little bit," says Delyzer. "Then last season, I don't know, it didn't work out last year. So I'm coming back to Jr. C to kind of get my confidence better with a great organization."

The Blades also recently signed former Blades Drew Marlatt, who played with Delyzer in Lambton Shores.
