Always interesting to see the history of the two teams. However, it may soon become more informative to break out the record since the Glen's took over. The overall stats include the years when we were an elite BCHL team, currently we are far before average. The Glen's can not claim any success from the rich history during Duncan Wray's ownership. They should be judged and rated on their brief history. Just another thought. As aways, I enjoy your BLOG.

Fridays game was a joke! Penticton played with them like it was a practice against a Junior B team! They made the rookie Penticton goalie look like a hero getting a shutout stopping 13 shots. Pentiction could have played the third period without a goalie and only surrender one goal....lol! What an embarrassment to the poor players, I feel sorry for them to have to play under such a useless coach and owner!

Anybody else find it amusing the website mentions all the national championships? They want to keep all the winning history but throw out all the MORALS, INTEGRITY and hard work that got the franchise there. Take the Viper off the jersey and put Johnny's mugshot on there.
