  "account": "The Vancouver Canucks are returning to Penticton for their third consecutive training camp. The four-day pre-season camp begins on Thursday at the South Okanagan Events Centre, generating excitement in the South Okanagan. Penticton resident Chris Hartt expressed his admiration, saying \"I’ve followed the Canucks for years, so to see them in person in your own rink and practice, it’s pretty amazing.\" The camp features practices and scrimmage games open to the public, allowing local hockey fans to watch NHL players in action. For residents like Katrina, whose husband looks forward to the annual event, the Canucks' presence is eagerly anticipated. Mayor Julius Bloomfield emphasized that hosting the Canucks is about more than economic impact, stating it's a matter of status and the team's preference for Penticton. Fan Joy Borkwood echoed this sentiment, saying \"We think they know a good place when they see it.\" The Canucks' training camp in Penticton continues through Sunday.",
