2008-09: Caron skated in 21 games for the WHL’s Kamloops Blazers and led the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League’s Kamloops Storm with 182 PMs in 29 games. Caron had one assist with 50 PMs during the regular season for the Blazers and no points with 9 PMs in four playoff contests. He scored 4 goals with 8 assists for the Storm.
2009-10: Caron was an intimidating force for the Kamloops Blazers in his first full season in the WHL while providing sound defensive play. Caron led the Blazers with 190 PMs (including 20 fighting majors) yet had a +4 plus/minus (one of only four Kamloops’ players with a positive mark). Offensively, he scored 1 goal with 5 assists. Kamloops made the playoffs despite a sub-.500 record after finishing third in the BC Division and in the four game series with the Vancouver Giants Caron was -1 with 1 assist and 10 PMs.
2010-11: Caron, after not being drafted, was invited to the Minnesota Wild’s camp and signed a three-year, entry-level contract in September 2011. He returned to Kamloops for his second full season in the WHL; suffering a broken clavicle two games into the season that kept him out of the lineup until January. Caron skated in 27 games for the Blazers, who finished last in the BC Division and missed the playoffs, and was -3 with 1 goal, 1 assist, and 47 PMs.
