Just in case you’ve been hibernating or under the sleepy spell of holiday eggnog and turkey, tonight is the deal of 2009 at the SOEC.

Former Penticton Coach Tommy Bohmer and his Quesnel Millionaires play opponent for the Vees tonight with CBC’s cameras in the house for Kraft Hockeyville 2009. Tickets are $5, and kids in minor hockey jerseys get in for Free-Ninety-Nine.

The tale of the tape paints a mismatch, but the Mills stole two points the last time these teams met, despite getting heavily out-shot and out-chanced up North. Since that Dec 12th game the Vees have 3 wins and an OT loss, while the Mills have lost 4 games in a row.

The Vees have outscored the Mills 11-5 over the three games season series and have a pair of wins.
