Vees on their way to records with yet another win.

The Penticton Vees continue to dominate with a 3-0 victory over the Prince George Cougars on Monday night.

This victory leaves the Vees with a 35-11-4-4 record on the season, which means they have tied the 2003/04 Everett Silvertips for the most wins by an expansion team in Western Hockey League history.

It was a fast and physical game, with no goals until the second period when the Vees made the score 2-0.

A third goal followed in the third period, and goalie Ethan McCallum earned his third shutout of the season, after having a brief goalie brawl with the opposing team's netminder.
