Newly acquired Brodie Reid and Derik Johnson played big roles in last night’s 3-1 win over the Westside Warriors.
Brodie Reid had two goals in the first 5 minutes and put a Warriors club that has struggled to score with regularity in a early hole. The pair of tallies were Reid’s first two as a member of the Vees in his third game in his new home. Reid will suit up at the Jan 14th All-Star Game in Vernon as a member of the Coastal Conference Squadron.
On the back end Derik Johnson, who was getting slivers in Cedar Rapids of the USHL before arriving in Penticton late Monday Night, was a physical and steady presence despite first game nerves. Johnson earned our rock hard hit of the game and adds much needed depth to a young d-core that has seen the departure of 20-year-olds Nathan Westover and Nicholas Goyens in recent weeks.
Here’s how the virgin Vees viewed the victory.
