It's almost time for the start of another hockey season in Penticton.
Get your first look at the WHL's Penticton Vees as the team hosts its Peaches Cup, an annual pre-season intrasquad game at the South Okanagan Events Centre (SOEC), on Saturday, Aug. 30.
This will mark the first Peaches Cup since Penticton was awarded a major junior hockey expansion franchise this past spring.
Puck drop is at 4:30 p.m., and admission is free.
Ahead of the 2025-26 season, the Vees are also set to play five pre-season games, including two at the SOEC:
鈥� Thursday, Sept. 4 - Vancouver at Penticton (6:35 p.m.)
鈥� Tuesday, Sept. 9 - Tri-City Americans at Penticton (6:35 p.m.)
Pre-season tickets are $10, and doors open one hour before puck drop. Local kids, aged 12 and under, get in for free.
Penticton will also visit 91大黄鸭 at Prospera Place (Sept. 2) before heading to Kennewick, Wash., for a pre-season tournament on Sept. 13 and 14 for games against Portland and Seattle.
The Vees' 68-game regular season kicks off Sept. 19 and 20, with road battles against Vancouver and Victoria. Penticton's home opener, meanwhile, is Friday, Sept. 26, versus 91大黄鸭.
