A half dozen Vees were signing autographs at Boston Pizza last night as Vees Party #2 grew quite a crowd of youngsters. Coinciding with the event was the announcement of the winners of last month’s hockey pool.

1st Place (163 points) - John Thompson * A pair of Club Seats for Sunday’s Spruce Kings Game

2nd Place (142 points) - Alex Drage * A 08/09 team signed collectors edition wooden stick

3rd Place (141 points) - Brian Henderson * Two tickets to the Vernon Vipers on the 29th of November

As you can see the Vees were a hit as always, as they signed hats & shirts and had pictures taken with fans.

Next Vees Party runs on December 10th from 7-8 PM at Boston Pizza. For more information, tune into Boston Pizza Vees This Week on Mondays at 6 on EZ Rock AM 800.

Zac Dalpe is looking very comfortable playing NCAA Hockey.

The Ohio State Buckeyes just completed their 2nd weekend hosting Lake Superior for a pair of games, and Dalpe made a big splash for the home side.

On Friday Night OSU lost 7-3, but Zac registered 8 shots on net and assisted on the first goal of the game (incidentally scored by former Vernon Viper Hunter Bishop).

Saturday Zac was on fire scoring a pair of goals (the 2nd into and empty net), adding an assist and being named the 1st Star of the Game as OSU won 4-2.

Zac is part of an OSU line-up featuring fellow BCHL grads Hunter Bishop, Erick Belanger, Taylor Stefishen and former Vees teammate Cory Schneider. Vees Defenseman Devon Krogh is off to join BCHL contingent next season.

Zac will be on ‘Boston Pizza Vees This Week’ tomorrow night.

***UPDATE*** Dalpe was been named the CCHA Rookie of the Week for his 4 point effort last weekend.

For many of the Penticton Vees Thanksgiving is spent away from home, which means the Vees Blog is here to bridge the gap from the Locker-Room to the Gravy Boat.
