What many predicted at the start of the season has come to pass. The talented and loaded roster of the Penticton Vees has lifted the Fred Page Cup winning the BCHL championship at the same time. A great accomplishment for a team that set a BCHL regular season record for wins and points in a season by sweeping the Coastal Conference champion Powell River Kings in four games.The Penticton Vees with ex-Grizzlies and local Victoria boys, Wade Murphy who's scoring touch has really added to the Vees already top 3 scoring lines, the steady presence of Nick Buchanan in the defensive ranks and former Grizzlies training camp roster goaltender Chad Kautner. Kautner who came in and replaced all star goalie Michael Gartieg (who refused to report to the Grizzlies after he was traded from the Powell River Kings during the off season) really stepped in and won some big game for the Vees during there playoff run.
This juggernaut Vees team, will now go on to play either the Brooks Bandits (Dylan Nowarkowski's team) or the Fort McMurray Oil Barons who are competing in the AJHL final which is tied at 2-2 each in that 7 game series.
