Matthew Vanden Berg

Penticton Vees Assistant Coach

[Matthew Vanden Berg @CoachMattVB]

Couldn't Ask For Two Better Young Men To Build Upon What Has Been Built & Lead This Organization Forward. Incredibly Proud.

[Penticton Vees @PentictonVees]

The first building blocks of the 2026-27 Leadership Group are here!

Help us give a big congratulations to next season's captain, Cal Stone and assistant captain AJ Reyelts!

Stone is entering his third season with the Vees organization and will be a great leader as we enter year two in the WHL!

AJ Reyelts will return between the pipes for his 20 year-old season and while he won't physically wear a letter, he will be one of the most prominent voices in the room for the 2026-27 season!

Congrats again guys!

Special Group is an understatement... This was RIGHT people, at the RIGHT time, with the RIGHT opportunity. Memories, relationships, & achievements to last a lifetime. Couldn't be prouder or more grateful for these young men, this community, my colleagues, & this organization.

The @PentictonVees didn’t just arrive — they made history in 2025-26.

A 44-win, 98-point debut season set a new standard for expansion teams across the CHL.

I asked Dan Hurley the same question I asked Tom Izzo: why does the media have a problem with coaches coaching players hard?

Hurley: "Society has gotten soft in a lot of ways... The real world is tough and cruel... I'm preparing my players for life."

CHECK OUT THE NEW GUYS!

In their first season in the Western Hockey League, the @PentictonVees have claimed the B.C. Division!

[Matthew Vanden Berg @CoachMattVB]

Francesco epitomizes high character, competitiveness, & humility in every aspect of his life. I can't say enough good things about him, his drive, & how he continues to EARN everything he gets. Sky's the limit for Francesco & I couldn't be prouder of him or happier for his family

[Colorado Avalanche @Avalanche]

It’s safe to say Francesco Dell’Elce was pumped to be drafted by the Avs.
