Fresh off their sixth straight victory, more good news has come for the Penticton Vees.

Another two-win weekend on the road brings the squad to a unblemished 6-0 record and, on Monday, the team found out they are ranked number one in the initial Canadian Junior Hockey League Top 20 rankings.

The rankings are a weekly review and are compiled by an independent scouting source. The Vees have registered a BCHL-best 32 goals for, while surrendering just 11 goals against in six games.
