| − | The Bladezillas are a lower-division beer league ice hockey team that plays out of [[Planet Ice Delta]] in [[Delta]], [[British Columbia]]. [[William Fraser]]has been the captain since its inception as has [[Dewey Booth]] been its the General Manager.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The Bladezillas were founded in 2008 by a small group of friends, many of which still play with the team today, including [[Justin Doyle]] and [[Jason Martin]]. The team has won its division once and advanced to the finals once, losing to the [[Vikings]] in straight games.

| − | | + | |
| − | The Bladezillas have a single jersey retired - [[Mike Pollard]], despite his insistence that he be allowed to play "whenever he might be in the area."

| − | == Team History ==
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | === 2008-2009, Winter : The Year Of Victory (Singular) ===
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The first Bladezillas season, winter 2008-2009, was one of constant change; as Bz was just getting organized and had no core group of players the roster had 28 players ( [[Founding members]] ) registered to play by the end of the season, many of which only spared for single games or were called up at the last minute.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The Bz record for this season was 1-30-01 (.053) in 32 games, the single victory coming against the [[Surrey Royales]] on December 11 2008. The final score was 7-6, with [[Mike Byun]] getting the game winning goal at 08"15 in the 3rd period. This game is notable for 2 reasons: first, the opposing goalie was drunk and was kicked out by the
| + | |
| − | ref in the 3rd period. This made them harder to play against. Finally, [[Mike Byun]]'s game winning goal was a slap shot on the defender (who was in net) who took great offence at the effort.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | While no official numbers have been released, [[Dewey Booth]] lost a great deal of money in the first year keeping the team afloat.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | === Spring 2009 to Spring 2011 ===
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | We won some games. We lost a few more! uh. Skip to the next part, its more interesting.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | === Winter 2011-2012 to Spring 2014 ===
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Having finally matured and built a core group of regular players Bladezillas began building winning tradition, their franchise enjoying an above-500 45-43-4-4 during this period.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The Bz posted their best single-season record in the winter of 2012-2013, taking the top spot in the regular season 22-8-1-1 (.689%) with 46 points. Led by [[William Fraser]] who led the team with 44 points the Bz also saw other players several other players have then career years, including [[Jamie Wright]] (34 points), [[Daniel Hewson]] (31), [[Dewey Booth]] (27 points), [[Robert Antoniali]] (26 points), [[Sean Ruckzo]] (25 points), [[Adam Fraser]] (22 points), [[Jason Martin]] (22 points), [[Justin Doyle]] (22 points). This was also the first season featuring forward [[Matt Halverson]].

| − | === Logos and Jerseys ===
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Bladezillas have had only 2 official logos and jerseys: In 2008 [[Dewey Booth]] and [[Kent Welford]] created the [[Original Bladezilla logo]]. Featuring a hockey skate monster come to life, if you looked at it just right you could see laces become arms, The team colors mirrored those of the [[Minnesota Wild]]; purple and green. It should be noted they reportedly did this while high.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | In 2010 it was decided to create new jerseys and a new logo to go on them. Multiple crests were created, most notably the [[Bladezilla Crest]] which was eventually discarded for the current [[Bladezilla Shield Logo]]. Bz's current colors are red, black and white and based on the [[Ottawa Senators]] RBK jerseys.
