For the third time this season, Penticton Vees forward Josh Nadeau has been named the B.C. Hockey League’s First Star of the Month.
The 19-year-old earned the honours for February after scoring nine goals in eight games last month, the league announced.
Nadeau’s 86 points this season is good enough for second place in the BCHL, trailing only his brother and fellow Vees teammate, Bradly Nadeau, who has 89 points in 45 games during the 2022-2023 campaign.
The University of Maine commit collected 16 points last month and has scored in five-straight contests, helping lead Penticton to a 7-0-0-1 record in February.
His month was headlined by a four-goal game against the Wenatchee Wild at the South Okanagan Events Centre on Feb. 24.
Nadeau was previously included in the BCHL’s stars of the month for November and December.
His aforementioned brother was listed as an honourable mention for February, along with the Vees’ Luca Di Pasquo, defenceman Ryan Hopkins and forward Aydar Suniev.
Penticton is back in action this weekend when they visit the Merritt Centennials on Friday, March 3, and the Trail Smoke Eaters one night later.
