Penticton Vees (WHL)

The franchise is operated by part-owner Graham Fraser, who also is the majority owner of the BCHL Penticton Vees since June 2008. The other ownership partners are Mark Scheifele, Mike Richter, Joe Walters and Gord Kovacik. The team planned to have the same operations staff as the BCHL franchise, including head coach and general manager Fred Harbinson. The team employs a staff of 11 scouts assigned to specific regions in Western Canada and the United States, including: Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, Southern Alberta, Mainland British Columbia, Vancouver Island, Minnesota and California. == Arena ==

The South Okanagan Events Centre is a 95,000-square-foot multi-purpose facility with 3 ice rinks, 5,000 seats and 27 luxury seats. It opened in 2008 and is owned by the City of Penticton and managed by Oak View Group. == History ==

The team traces its history to 1961 when the Penticton Jr. Vees were a founding member of the Okanagan-Mainline Junior "A" Hockey League (OMJHL). Before joining the WHL as an expansion team in 2025, the Penticton Vees had been the name of a British Columbia Hockey League (BCHL) franchise from 2004 to 2025. The name "Vees" is a reference to the Victory, Valiant, and Vidette varieties of peaches grown in the Okanagan Valley. ==Season-by-season record==
