Connor Reilly is one of 3 brothers on the league-leading Penticton Vees and currently tied for 3rd in BCHL scoring with linemate Mario Lucia. Him and Ryan are 20-year old twins, meanwhile 18-year-old younger brother Mike is a draft pick of the Columbus Blue Jackets and leads the BCHL in scoring for defensemen. As a matter of fact, Penticton now has 7 of the top 8 scorers in the league and 9 of the top 11. Before Wednesday's game in Merritt, I spoke with Connor Reilly about the success of his team, his relationship with his brothers and their future in Minnesota.

The other interview is with David Bondra, who, yes, is the son of former NHL great Peter Bondra. He's 3rd on the Chilliwack Chiefs in scoring, and has been a big part of the resurgence of that franchise in the movie from Quesnel to Chilliwack (ironically, the 2 players ahead of him in scoring are 2 of the very few Millionaires left, Malcolm Gould and Derek Huisman). He had a tough season in the USHL last year with Chicago but has exploded this season in Chilliwack. David hails from Maryland where he lives with his famous dad. We talked about all this and his move to Canada before the Cents game in Chilliwack this past Friday.
