Key’s and Notes to tonight’s game:
-After a convincing 5-0 victory over the first place Penticton Vees last night, Vernon cant come into tonights game over confident and take the 6th place Millionaires too lightly
-In past years the Vipers havnt played or done that well on parents weekend. Let’s hope the Vipers don’t try and do too much, to impress their parents & stick to tonights game plan
-Vernon is going to have to try and get lots of pucks and traffic towards Kirby Halcrow. Halcrow has always played the Vipers well
-Vernon needs to play a full 60 minutes and cant play down to the level of the Mills
-Patrick McGillis has four goals in his last four games
-The Vipers have outscored their opponents 8-1 in their last two games
-Vernon has won two straight at home after struggling at the Wesbild Centre to start the season

Key’s and Notes to tonight’s game:
-The Millionaires last win against the Vipers was way back during the 2004-05 season when Quesnel defeated Vernon 3-1 in Quesnel back on Friday, November 26th 2004. Since then the Millionaires have just two ties in their last 29 games vs. Vernon. Before picking up a 1-1 tie with Vernon back on October 6th of this year Quesnel had lost 26 straight to the Vipers
-In four career regular season games vs. Vernon Kirby Halcrow is 0-3-1 vs. the Vipers. Halcrow has stopped 138 out of 152 Vernon shots
-After falling 7-3 in Salmon Arm last night, what kind of team will the Vipers see from Quesnel tonight?
-The Mills need to get off to a good start and cant fall behind early
-Specialty teams will be key for both teams
-If the Mills want a chance to win, they will need to rely on veteran goaltender Kirby Halcrow
-These same two teams will face off against each other next weekend (Friday) in Quesnel
-The Vipers will face the Millionaires three times in the month of October
-Quesnel has just one win on the road this season
