Day 1 From Vipers Training Camp:

I stopped by the first day of Vipers training camp after work tonight and caught the final 30 minutes of the camp. Team White defeated Team Blue 7-4 as Team White carried the better of the play and had the better of the scoring chances.

Here are some players who I thought stood out,

The line of Connor Jones 90, Kellen Jones 90 and Dylan Walchuk 92 looked very strong up front. Kellen Jones scored a nice goal while on the breakaway going topshelf. Dylan Walchuk scored a real nice goal cutting towards the net, with a d-man all over him and still got the puck past Justin Goritz.

Bennett Hambrook 92 played well on the blueline. Looked very solid, carries the puck well, likes to jump up into the rush.

Frank Riddle 90 Played well on the backend. Was impressed with his play most of the evening.

Steve Weinstein 90 Looks like Weinstein has bulked up over the summer, played well.

Burhan Pourmokhtari 93 Is a smaller kid but has some quick wheels. Good skater.

News & Notes:

Viper newcomer Dan Nycholat 89 wasnt in the lineup this evening.

I did some digging and come across an interesting write up on Josh McKissock who is attending Vipers training camp. The scouting news says McKissock (Best undiscovered 1992 in BC? NCAA upside?) Click on the link below for the story.
