The Vees season has come to an end as the Camrose Kodiaks have defeated the Vees in Game 5 of the Doyle Cup.

Boris Rybalka and his troops showed their experience and were a poised group throughout the series.

For the Vees, it’s a bitter end to a fantastic season of achievement.

Congrats to the Vees on the 1st Fred Page Cup win for Penitcton since 1986 and best of luck to the Kodiaks at the RBC.

As for the Blog, I’ll be posting more interviews as the boys pack up their gear and head home… stay tuned!
