The Vernon Vipers normally play in the Wesbild Centre, however, booking conflicts have caused the team to relocate to the Civic Centre.

The AJHL has won the past two Doyle Cup series. The Grande Prairie Storm have yet to capture a Doyle Cup. The Vernon Vipers won the Doyle Cup in 1996 and 1999, the Vernon Lakers won the title in 1989, 1991 and 1992.
