VICTORY for ‘Team Okanagan’
By Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER
Norm Letnick wore a Kelowna Rockets jersey when he opened his campaign office Saturday, April 6. The choice to wear the hockey shirt didn’t seem out of the ordinary at the time, but in hindsight, was highly symbolic. Three days earlier the Kelowna Rockets

made history by coming back from a three-game deficit to defeat the Seattle Thunderbirds in seven games. With Rockets’ captain Colton Sissons sidelined, and six other key players injured, it took a team effort to accomplish what only one other WHL squad has ever been able to do. On April 6, while wearing the Ogopogo on his chest, and with fellow local Liberal
incumbents Ben Stewart and Steve Thomson standing next to him, Letnick told supporters how much “Team Okanagan” has been able to accomplish for the region over the past four years. “Team Okanagan” was repeated often throughout the campaign, usually just before “cardiac surgical centre,” “replant program,” or “new highway.” The team effort resulted in a
comfortable victory. The trio will represent the Okanagan for four more years after Letnick, Stewart and Thomson all earned at least 55 per cent of their ridings’ vote. And while that result wasn’t a shock to many, the BC Liberals’ come-from-behind triumph provincially was perhaps equally as surprising as what the Rockets had accomplished 41days earlier.
