The Penticton Vees have a total of 10 rookies on their team this season despite sitting at the top of the standings with two games left. The jump to the BCHL has been challenging for the first years but the team has been getting the job done. One of the rookies is, local forward, Levi Carter.

“It’s been a bit difficult, just with the speed and how skillful all the guys are but I think the coaches have really helped me, just teaching me little things here and there.”

From 10 games this season Carter has 4 assists and is looking for more as the Vees will be finishing their ‘pod’ season on the 30th of April.

The Vees will look to improve upon their BCHL best, 12-1-1 record and 3 game win streak in the final two games of the season being played Thursday and Friday night.

“We out work the other team every night, we don’t lose many puck battles, we fight for each other I think is the main part. I think all the guys have come together and gelled faster than all the rest of the teams” says Carter.

The Vees’ final two games will be against, pod rivals, Trail and Cranbrook. Other than not having a playoffs to compete in this season, there is not a lot to complain about for the Vees in 2021.
