Blades Continue Adding, Durston Signs

Days after the Blenheim Blades acquired and signed Mike Myers from the Dresden Kings, the team continued adding veterans, signing Jordan Durston.

Durston played 19 games for the Blades in 2013-2014, scoring 20-points, including 12-goals.

Durston, who is 20-years-old, and hails from Wallaceburg also played a handful of Junior C games with the Blenheim Blades in 2012-2013 after coming over from the Wallaceburg Lakers, where he scored at nearly a point per game rate for the two seasons he played in Wallaceburg.

Although he has played forward in the past, Durston most recently has suited up on the blueline, a position the Blades are lacking at after Brandon Falconer left the team last month.

The Blenheim Blades currently sit at 8-8, good for 6th in the Great Lakes Junior C Hockey League.

Blenheim will play a pair of games this weekend, visiting Wheatley Saturday, before hosting the Alvinston Flyers Sunday.

In the offseason, Durston won a Canadian Junior A title, capturing the Minto Cup with the Six Nations Arrows.
