History

View video of Jonathon Blum (courtesy of the NHL)

2006-07: As Blum and his Vancouver Giants basked in the glow of their Memorial Cup championship, the dependable rearguard's stock rose measurably. Playing behind such stalwarts as Mark Fistric (DAL), Brett Festerling, Brendan Mikkelson (ANA), Paul Albers (MIN) and Cody Franson last season, Blum had plenty of veteran role models to rely on. This season, the demands on Blum have been increased and he has wholeheartedly answered the call.  Blum tallied eight goals and 43 assists in the full complement of 72 league games and led the WHL with a plus-37 ranking.

2007-08: Alternate captain for the Giants.
