The Penticton Vees have announced Nicholas Jones as the team’s Captain for the 2016-17 season, the team announced Tuesday.
“It was an easy choice,” said Head Coach Fred Harbinson. “He was a great player for us all season and a quality veteran leader. We’re confident he’ll be an excellent Captain.”
Jones had nine goals and 16 points in 11 playoff games, tying for the team scoring lead with Scott Conway. He had another 21 goals and 63 points in 42 regular season games, when he joined the team in late October.
The Edmonton, Alberta, native started the season in college hockey before landing in Penticton, and is committed to the University of North Dakota for the 2017-2018 season.
The Penticton Vees look forward to welcoming the best of the west in 2017, as hosts of the Western Canada Cup. The team will be holding a press conference in coming days to announce WCC and Season Ticket packages.
