co-captain Owen Sillinger believes this year91裸聊视频檚 team can be as good as last year91裸聊视频檚.

Starting the second week of camp, Sillinger liked what he saw last week and talked about what stood out.

91裸聊视频淚 would say our skill. Just the way that we snap the puck around,91裸聊视频� said Sillinger. 91裸聊视频淭he way we finish around the net. It91裸聊视频檚 on another level already.91裸聊视频�

Sillinger likes the Vees91裸聊视频� goaltending with returnee and Adam Scheel, who is committed to the University of North Dakota. He said the defence is really skilled, along with the forward group, adding they may be smaller up front, but will be fast, enabling them to take advantage of turnovers.

91裸聊视频淲e have a lot of skilled players here and a lot of hard workers and I91裸聊视频檓 excited for the regular season to start,91裸聊视频� he said.

Missing from camp are rookie Massimo Rizzo and co-captain Grant Cruikshank. Vees head coach-general manager Fred Harbinson said both are expected to miss the start of the regular season with injuries, but hopes they will be available a couple of weeks after.

Harbinson is happy with what he has seen from the players. The group assembled has been able to learn what the coaching staff is teaching quickly. The coaches have thrown a lot of new things at the players.

91裸聊视频淔or the veterans, they kind of remember how we want to do things,91裸聊视频� said Harbinson. 91裸聊视频淔or the other guys they have been really helping them through it. It was a real positive start.91裸聊视频�

The coaching staff continues to learn about the players and how they interact with each other. They also have been establishing how they want the players to live in the city, not just how they should behave on the ice. Last week the Vees were joined by the Anaheim junior Ducks, which gave them a chance to see what the BCHL and Penticton is like. Harbinson liked what he saw and said there is always a possibility to recruit a Ducks player in the future, but Harbinson said they have also helped the players get recruited by other junior teams.

91裸聊视频淭hey are running a really reputable program there,91裸聊视频� said Harbinson of coach August Aiken and former Vee TJ Miller. 91裸聊视频淚t helps their guys. If we can help their program, it helps us. Allows us to have bigger numbers here to run scrimmages during camp. It91裸聊视频檚 a win-win for everybody.91裸聊视频�

As the Vees get ready to host West Kelowna Wednesday at the South Okanagan Events Centre at 7 p.m., then head to Brooks, Alta., to take on the Bandits during the long weekend, work gets going on implementing structure and systems. It is about getting the players to understand how the team plays, including faceoff and situational play. The hope is over the next couple of months the system becomes instinctual for the players.
