The Penticton Vees are a junior "A" ice hockey team from Penticton, British Columbia, Canada. They are a part of the British Columbia Hockey League. The junior Vees were founded in 1961, taking the name of an existing senior hockey team. After a 26 yr absence the Vees advanced to the championship game in the 2012 RBC Cup in Humboldt, Saskatchewan, defeating the Woodstock Slammers 4-3 on a goal by Joey Benik to capture the Canadian National Junior A Championship.

Origins of the team name

Although it is commonly thought by many that the name "Vees" has to do with Victory, the name actually represents the 3 types of local peaches (Vedette, Valiant and Victory).^[1]

The Vees were Mowat Cup champions in 1968, 1973, 1980, 1981, 1982, 1985, as well as in 1986, when they were also Centennial Cup champions.
