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 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.
