“Off the draw we get the puck to [John] Williams, who’s our leading scorer and we tell him when we write it up to shoot it and he doesn’t shoot it,” he said. “That’s an execution thing. We’ve been doing that all year... We execute for 60 [minutes] and then we seem to get a little full of ourselves and we were guilty of that tonight for sure.”
“I”m not really sure what’s bothering him right now,” Malgunas said of Forsythe. “I know he’s not in as good of shape as he should be, and he wasn’t on top of his game tonight, so I made the executive decision to go with some younger guys who have some jump.”

Back on home ice
by Harpreet Sidhu of the Penticton Western News
“Everyone was really relieved after that Merritt game,” said Vees captain Brett Hextall. “We’ve all got to relax. We were pretty tense there. We were all on edge. To get back on track there, it felt good.”
“Over the last 10 games there has been a lot of mixing around with injuries and line-up changes. Hopefully once we get the guys back. We can go back to work,” said Vees head coach Fred Harbinson.

Vees will don V’s jerseys
by Staff of the Penticton Western News
With the addition of Lieuwen goaltending has to be considered the strength of the Warriors, in five of the teams last six games the club has allowed just a single goal against.
The last previous home game was Nov. 17, while the next home game is the Dec. 14, so you best get your butt to the game.
On the injury front, Denver Manderson won’t be back in the line-up any time soon. Luc Challier appears to be closer, but don’t expect to see him this weekend. Devon Krogh on the other hand has been cleared to play.

Chief gets nod for prospects game
by Gary Ahuja of the Langley Times
Stefishen, who leads the Chiefs in points (37) and is tied for the team lead in assists (23) and goals (14), is off to Ohio State University in the fall, after accepting an athletic scholarship to the Buckeyes program.
“It is definitely weird,” he said about attention from NHL scouts. “But I like it.”

Chiefs endure grisly night at GPRC
by Troy Landreville of the Langley Advance
"We were not prepared," fumed Chiefs head coach Harvey Smyl. "We need the leadership to make sure the guys are ready to play."
Chiefs rookie Colton Beck - nephew of former NHLer Barry - scored his first BCHL goal, and point, with 1:48 remaining to round out the game's scoring.
"I didn't think we played well at all after the first period," Smyl said. "I think Victoria didn't come as hard. I'm disappointed with the way we played. I know we haven't played much [lately] and our timing could be off, but that's no excuse for lack of effort. That's not acceptable."

Former backstop beats ’Backs
by Richard MacKenzie of the Salmon Arm Observer
That they have been able to stay on top in the conference is a tribute to the depth and resilience of the team as they continue to find success with a line-up decimated by injuries.
“When you’re missing four out of your top six on the back-end (defence), it makes it pretty tough,” he said. “And here we are in the meat of our schedule, so it’s a good test for the guys available. We hope to have (Mike) Glaicar back this weekend and (Ryan) Forgaard is back and healthy now. (Matt) Grassi’s return is still unknown, but we’re getting there.”
He also noted the work of affiliated defencemen Mike Puddifant, from Salmon Arm who plays for the Chase Chiefs, and Sicamous’ Colton Hayes for their work, as well as forward Ronnie Smith who racked up some time on the back-end versus the Kings.

Warriors need all hands
by David Trifunov of the Kelowna Daily Courier
The Warriors have fought the injury bug lately, especially on defence. Blue-liners Justin Schultz, Cory Pritz and Brad Plumton have all missed time, but should play this weekend. Forward Pierre Girard (shoulder) is getting closer to returning.
But while Howell said flu and injury played a role in Tuesday‘s roster freeze, there was also team suspensions. He was tight-lipped about it all, saying only that there are “various” reasons, including a lack of commitment on the ice and in the gym.
