SOMHA Peewee hockey team wins gold in Vernon

somha-peewee-hockey-teamCongratulations to a group of hard-working minor hockey players from the South Okanagan.

The South Okanagan Minor Hockey Association (SOMHA) Peewee Rep team brought home gold medals after competing in a tournament hosted by the Vernon Vipers this past weekend.

South Okanagan opened the tournament with an easy 14-0 victory over North Vancouver.

The local squad then fell 9-4 to North Okanagan, before rebounding to post a 16-1 win over Revelstoke.

That put South Okanagan into the championship game, in which the local squad exacted a bit of revenge on its North Okanagan opponent.

The SOMHA team played an excellent, hard-fought game and came through with a 3-2 win in the final.

Check out the team and its gold medals.
