Now in his 19th year with the team, Harbinson has the Vees on track for a historic season as an expansion franchise in the WHL. At the time of this recording, Penticton sat 2nd in the Western Conference, were riding an 11 game win streak and recently cracked the CHL's top 10 ranking, landing at number 9. With 26 games left to play in the regular season, the Vees are only 10 wins away from breaking the win record for an expansion team, set by the Everett Silvertips 22 seasons ago.

With Penticton, Harbinson has built one of the storied franchises at the Jr A level in Canada, leading the Vees to multiple championships, including six Fred Page Cup titles, a Western Canada Cup, a Doyle Cup, and an RBC Cup National Championship. He has recorded over 700 career wins in the BCHL and has been honored multiple times with the Joe Tennant Memorial Trophy as BCHL Coach of the Year. He also holds the distinction of the most playoff series victories in league history.

Listen as he shares the championship mentality that has resulted in expansion success, putting an emphasis on the defensive side of the game and why selling development is about providing your players with a layer of tools.
