Vees staff to visit Cali

The Penticton Vees will be hosting a prospects camp in the golden state this spring for the first time ever.

The team will hold an identification camp in Lakewood, Calif. from Jun. 7-10, for players born between 1999 and 2003.

Vees assistant coaches Jason Becker and Matt Fraser along with assistant general manager Steve Cocker will be attendance for the camp.

Players there will be evaluated from games and on-ice practices and will receive individual feedback sessions. There will also be a symposium to educate players on the Vees program and the B.C. Hockey League.

Penticton has had several California-born players in the team's history, most notably Greater Los Angeles native Beau Bennett in the 2009-10 season.

Bennett scored 41 goals and had 120 points in 56 games in his lone year with the Vees. That spring, he was taken 20th overall in the NHL entry draft by the Pittsburgh Penguins.
