Vernon-Victoria Trade:

Late Thursday the WHL Kelowna Rockets released 20 year old forward, Kyle St. Denis. The Vernon Vipers then traded the playing rights of forward, Kyle St. Denis to the Victoria Grizzlies for future considerations. St. Denis played two season's in Vernon, one as an "AP" (2005-06) before siging with the Vipers in (2006-07) before joining the WHL Kelowna Rockets. St. Denis hasnt played much the past few seasons due to injury and concusions. The BC Hockey Now newspaper reported a few weeks back, the Vipers & Trail Smoke Eaters were working out a trade to send St. Denis to Trail to join his younger brother Travis St. Denis.

Mark Ferner talked about the trade tonight on the Vipers pre-game show. Ferner said he talked to St. Denis and asked him if he wanted to come to Vernon but to whatever reason said no. Ferner and the Vipers had a few deals in the works, one with Trail but the trade fell through. Ferner said St. Denis was cleared to play by the Kelowna Rockets and St. Denis's doctor so the Vipers made the trade so St. Denis was able to play.
