Penticton Lakers
Canadian ice hockey team
The Penticton Lakers were a junior 'B' Ice Hockey team based in Penticton, British Columbia, Canada. They were members of the Okanagan Division of the Okanagan/Shuswap of the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League (KIJHL) and were part of the Okanagan Hockey Academy. They played their home games at the South Okanagan Events Centre. They were last coached by Robert Dirk.
The Lakers were relocated to 100 Mile House prior to the start of the 2013-14 KIJHL season due to arena difficulties and poor attendance, largely to blame on superior competition from the Junior A Penticton Vees, and were renamed as the 100 Mile House Wranglers.

Why this record matters
“Penticton Lakers” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Penticton, Lakers and Canadian provides the most credible route into that argument.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jan 22, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q7165183. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2013 and 2012.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
