āIt just kind of makes me feel like Iām really old to tell you the truth,ā said Blokker in a recent interview with Ryan Watters.Ā āIām just really proud of the coaching staff Iāve been with for so many years.Ā Iām just really proud to coach in the league for as long as I have and be part of this league for as long as I have.Ā I think itās a great league, its a great development for coaches and players, you know and in a way itās just nice to be around for as long as I have.ā
The Raiders (3-2) will have a bye this long weekend to prepare for a date with the Okanagan Sun (4-1) on Saturday September 7 at Caledonia Park.
