The Wenatchee Wild were one of the last eight teams standing in the British Columbia Hockey League postseason, but the Penticton Vees will be the team continuing its quest for the Fred Page Cup after their Interior Conference semifinal meeting Wednesday at Town Toyota Center.

Wenatchee roared to a 5-1 win over the Chilliwack Chiefs in front of 4,260 fans, only its second capacity crowd in its British Columbia Hockey League era and first in regular-season play.

The Wild did a good job of making that impression Saturday night, following up Friday’s 3-2 shootout win against the Cranbrook Bucks with a 4-2 victory and earning a sweep against the conference’s second-place team.

I asked the Wenatchee Wild head coach about how the team has started off this season. Sometimes it’s a slow start, sometimes it’s greatness right out of the gate. How are we looking compared to some of the other teams?
