Grizzlies take a bite out of Vees

by Staff of the Penticton Western News

Following the final whistle, players and members of the Vees coaching staff exchanged words with the officials, which led to the team being assessed a team penalty for a game misconduct and gross misconduct.

Historically, the game misconduct carries a minimum three-game suspension for the coach. Following practice Tuesday, the team was still waiting to hear from the league what the final verdict would be, with the team expecting someone from the coaching staff having to serve the three games.

“I hope the game never gets to the situation where you can’t fight for pucks off the face-offs and the last call –– Cory Schneider is fighting for the puck and unfortunately gets called for interference. It’s 3-3 hockey game, two teams playing well and the fans are enjoying it and we take a penalty on that time and give them credit for scoring on it.”
