Goaltender Oliver Auyeung-Ashton was the hero of the piece for the Grizzlies

The defending champion Penticton Vees, the gold standard in the B.C. Hockey League, rolled into The Q Centre on Saturday night, but hit a pothole. The Victoria Grizzlies recorded their biggest victory of the season with an upset 4-3 shootout decision over the Vees .“We know their record and [knew] the game would be a challenge,” said Grizzlies GM and head coach Rylan Ferster.

Penticton has been to the BCHL final 22 times since 1961 and has won 13 Fred Page Cup league championships, including the four-game sweep of Nanaimo last year. Ferster guided the Warriors to the 2015-16 BCHL championship, but is any team capable of wresting the 2022-23 title away from the Vees? It doesn’t appear like it, Saturday’s result at The Q Cetnre notwithstanding, and with the Coastal Division-leading Clippers surely wanting another shot in the finals against Penticton and on path to getting it.
