Keys and Notes to tonights game:

-Vernon was 3-0 at Royal LePage Place last year

-Three out of the Vipers last four games have gone to overtime

-The Vipers have had troubles putting the puck in the net latley, Vernon needs to try and start producing more goals.

-Vernon is just one point back of the 2nd place Vees and only two points up on the 4th place Warriors

-The Vipers next five games are vs three Interior teams Vernon is battling in the Interior Division. (Westside, Trail & Penticton)

-Vernon needs to compete, battle and play a full 60 minutes if they want to knock off Westside. The Warriors always have a hard working hockey club that never quits and puts a solid 60 minute effort each game.
