The Penticton Vees started off Parents Weekend in style with an emphatic 8-1 win over the Prince George Spruce Kings on Friday night. It was the Vees second consecutive win and now have points in 17 straight games.
Thomas Pichette had four points in Friday’s win, including two goals. Conyr Hellyer and Attila Lippai also scored twice. Zack Stringer and Simon Meier also found the back of the net.
The Vees go for their third straight win but more importantly their 50th consecutive home win. They have won 49 in a row at the SOEC dating back to April 1, 2022. A win streak that has spanned 595 days.
Only lineup change comes in goal, as Will Ingemann gets the call between the pipes after Andrew Ness picked up the win last night. Ingemann has had a great start to the season, owning a 10-0-1-1 record, to go along with a 1.79 goals-against and .928 save percentage.
