Just two days after losing James Bettauer to the Chilliwack Bruins of the WHL, the Vees got a big confirmation from a fellow ‘91 skater from last years’ championship squad. Golden, BC’s favorite wrecking ball, Curtis MacKenzie, will be back in Penticton for the 08-09 Season, electing to play in the BCHL (and thus likely the NCAA) rather than in Red Deer of the Western League.
Also, last years’ Vees will welcome a Doyle Cup enemy to the locker room this season as the Vees have completed another deal with the Camrose Kodiaks. Forward David Andreassen, a Camrose Kid, has been acquired for the rights to two 20-year-old players in Western Hockey League. Andreassen has played in the last two Royal Bank Cup Tournaments with the Kodiaks.
For all the details the Vees Blog found Head Coach and VP of Hockey Operations Fred Harbinson.
