Former Vernon Lakers standout defenceman Campbell Blair is being recognized by the B.C. Hockey League.

The league has changed the name of its Top Defenceman Award to the Campbell Blair Trophy.

Blair played for the Lakers, Shuswap Totems and Summerland Buckaroos from 1983-87. He holds several BCHL records including most goals by a defenceman in a single season (38) and most points by a blueliner in a single season (109), both of which he accomplished with Vernon in 1986-87.

He also holds career records for assists by a defenceman with 169 and points by a defenceman with 247.

In 1987, he won the award which is now named after him.
