Familiar Vees voice returns

The Penticton Vees Junior Hockey Club have announced the return of a previous "Voice of the Vees" on Wednesday, filling the role left recently vacant.

Rodgers will oversee the corporate sales for the Vees in his new position while also handling the play-by-play and communications responsibilities of the team.

“Vees Nation is very fortunate to have Fraser Rodgers return to our organization in a much expanded role,” president, beneral Manager and head coach Fred Harbinson said in a press release.

“Fraser was front and centre for many of our great Vees moments in the past and will now be back on the mic for many more.”

“My family and I want to thank Graham and Sue Fraser and Fred Harbinson for this incredible opportunity to rejoin such a prestigious organization,” Rodgers added.

“Penticton is a very special place for me and is full of great people who I look forward to reconnecting with. I can’t wait to get started and be part of Vees nation once again.”
