He's one of our best defenceman; the Kamloop Blazers

I have shocking news for you. The sports department at 24H Vancouver made a couple of errors yesterday. I'll give you a few seconds to recover from that, and sorry, I should've suggested you sit down first. First, in the article itself - "Giants’ Blaze to glory" - defenceman should be defencemen. Defenceman and defencemen may sound the same when spoken, but would you say "he's one of our best worker"? No, so make it defencemen. 24H needs some consistency - it's either defence (with a C) or defense (with an S); pick one and stick to it, don't flip back and forth day after day. Next!

The article's photo caption has a misspelling of Kamloops.
