Vipers recruit national champion! by viper staff Added 2009-05-19 May 19, 2009

The Vernon Vipers Hockey Club is pleased to announce that 18 year old forward Drew George, from Regina, has committed to play in Vernon. Drew spent last season playing for the Notre Hounds AAA Midget hockey team. George helped lead his team to a national title as they were able to capture the Telus Cup in Winnipeg last month. Drew scored 2 goals and 1 assist in the championship final.

Drew was a highly sought after recruit. He received loads of interest, not only from many BCHL teams but WHL teams as well. Last season, Drew was second in the SMAAAHL (Saskatchewan Midget AAA Hockey League) in scoring. He compiled 27 goals 46 assists for 73 points in 43 games played.

Drew is very excited to become a Viper and continue to build on the tradition in Vernon. He hopes to land a NCAA scholarship and bring another National Championship back to the city or Vernon.

The Vernon Vipers will be announcing more recruits over the next few weeks. Any questions please contact the Vipers office at 250 542 6022.
