The Cranbrook Bucks skated in their first-ever regular season BC Hockey League (BCHL) game April 3 against the Penticton Vees.

Playing in the ‘Penticton Pod’ at the South Okanagan Events Centre, the Bucks fell 6-3 to the host Vees.

Cam Reid notched the Bucks’ first regular season goal at 12:56 of the second period, with Walker Gelbard and Zeth Kindrachuk assisting.

Kindrachuk set up AJ Vasko for the Bucks’ second goal, 3:30 into a wild third period, with the Vees adding four in the frame.

Tyson Dyck notched the Bucks’ third goal with 3:11 remaining, with Noah Quinn and Gelbard helping out.

Nathan Airey stopped 33 of 38 shots. The Vees’ sixth marker was into an empty net.

Thanks to an April 2 victory over the Trail Smoke Eaters, the Vees sit atop the Penticton Pod standings.
