Origins of the team name
Although it is common 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 Veteran).
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.
