The Vees Blog is back for the 2008/2009 season. The Blog will be even bigger and better this season as we watch the Vees defend the club’s first BCHL Championship in 22 years.

We open the blogging season with an interview with Fred Harbinson the Coach of the Fred Page Cup Champions heading into his sophomore season.

Coach talks about the offseason changes, two players lost to Major Junior this offseason (breaking news alert!), and what kind of team we may see come September 5th.

Garrett Milan of the Vancouver NW Giants has committed to the Vees for ‘08-’09. The 16 year old Forward is currently 2nd in the BC Major Midget League with 26 goals and 32 assists in 31 games played.

The NW Giants finished second at the world renowned ‘Mac’s AAA Midget Tournament’ over the holidays, with Milan named a 1st team All-Star compiling 11 points in just 7 games.

Garrett and his family visited Penticton last weekend and seemed to enjoy the experience.

Here is coach Fred Harbinson on Milan’s commitment to the club, following Wednesday’s practice.
