Improved for 22/23, maybe 2 first round NHL draft picks, 2 drafted goalies but still pathetic attendance. I bet the league would love a team in Penticton.
Head to Nanaimo?
Only just heard about the 18-0 Vee streak - wow. PEN has the arena, population area. Territory bleed? Maybe but what rivalry possibilities with booster buses and the like. KEL side bonus, no hotel stay. PEN must have built that arena with a long term plan for hockey. PG just one lonely banner, it should be a can't miss location winner.I don't think Penticton wants a WHL team. They are a dominant force in Junior A and the fans love basically everything about that organization. I also can't imagine Kelowna, and Bruce Hamilton, being ok with having a team in Penticton.
All Nanaimo needs is a rink and they WILL get a team!! The WHL is salivating over getting teams to play in two different markets when they go to the Island.Head to Nanaimo?
