It was another successful Young Stars Classic at the South Okanagan Events Centre (SOEC) in Penticton.

The tournament wrapped up with a pair of games on Monday, including a 4-3 Vancouver Canucks win over the Calgary Flames as the hosts finished the showcase with a perfect 3-0 record.

Even on a Monday afternoon, Canucks fans showed up to the SOEC to cheer on their team.

Although the Young Stars Classic has ended, it’s certainly not the end of Canucks hockey in Penticton this month.

The NHL club will begin its training camp at the SOEC on Thursday, which means big-name stars like Elias Pettersson, Quinn Hughes, JT Miller and Brock Boeser will be in town.

From Thursday through Saturday, there will be daily skates between 9:30 am and 1:30 pm that fans can buy tickets to for $10.

Training camp will wrap up Sunday with a Blue vs White scrimmage and tickets to attend that will set you back $32.

All tickets can be purchased through Valley First.

Fin was a busy mascot in Penticton over the past few days.

There will be several community activations during Canucks training camp, including a Party on the Plaza and clinics for minor hockey players and referees.

After training camp ends on Sunday, the Canucks will head back to Vancouver and prepare for their first pre-season game against the Seattle Kraken on Tuesday, Sept. 24.
