Comparing This Year's Vipers vs The Past Two National Champion Vipers:

After winning back to back National Championships last year, the Vipers started this season rebuilding with sixteen new players, and just six players back from last year's Royal Bank Cup Championship team. After last night's 3-2 double overtime loss to the Salmon Arm Silverbacks, the Vipers wrapped up the month of December and are currently tied with the Penticton Vees for top spot in the Interior Division four months into the season. I know it's a little hard to try and compare this year's Vipers team-roster with last year's Vipers team-roster but I was interested in seeing how this year's Vipers team-roster matched up against the past two Royal Bank Cup Championship Viper teams after the month of December. Let's take a look and compare stats.
