Blaine had been playing in the Central Frontenac League until this year when he decided to try out for the Express. He has been travelling to League games and tournaments all summer. The qualifying tournament for the championships took place in Stratford.
Francis and Linda Manion and Sharbot Lake Pharmasave have sponsored him, helping to cover some of the tournament costs.
The Express were undefeated in the tournament.
