Vipers new voice

by viper staff Added 2009-08-27

The Vernon Vipers are very happy to announce that they have a new voice for all their home games! Mike Fox, whos been watching Vipers hockey since 1994, works as a Financial Consultant in Vernon, and will now be the voice the fans hear during the Vipers home games.

Married to his wife Deborah for 16 years, they have 4 children (ages 3-13, 2 boys, 2 girls). The 2 oldest play hockey, the younger 2 will be learning to skate soon and they are also play soccer. Mike has coached Rugby and Football (in is hometown of Kamloops) and currently coaches minor soccer in Armstrong.

"I enjoy being at the rink and quite often do timekeeping for the kids games. I have spoken in front of many groups and do enjoy it. When the opportunity arose to be apart of the Vipers organization, watch every game and do what I enjoy; Deborah and I decided I should go for it. The Vipers are a class organization; I am excited to be a part of it. Plus I get one of the best seats in the house."

As the Vipers welcome Mike into his new role of PA Announcer, the Vernon Vipers have to say goodbye to long time announcer Wayne Buck. "Bucky", as we all knew him by, will be missed as he was a huge part of Vipers game days. The Vipers wish all the best for Bucky, and we know we will still see him at all the games, now enjoying the game from a different seat beside his wife.
