Hey VDHF - just wanted to drop you a line to say THANKS for your kind words on my blog regarding the Broadcaster of the Year award. In my opinion they should create the blogger of the year award and you would get my vote to win it hands down!

Best of luck to the Vipers next year, just not in the head to head games of course!

Hey Hammer, Your welcome! And sorry If I commented more then once, when I tried sending my comment it went back to the start and didnt show that I made a comment, so I kept having to re-post my comment. Im sure you got a few of them haha Sorry about that!

Thank you for the nice comments about my blog! Really appreictaed and great to hear coming from a BCHL broadcaster. Over the years I have met several parents of differnt Viper players over the years and get alot of real nice comments on my blog. Most parents say its a great way to follow their son and the team and after there son leaves Vernon, its a great way to still keep in touch and follow the Vipers. Ive also had several Viper fans and management comment to me about my blog.

When I first started this blog, I had no idea how many people checked it out, if anyone was reading it, until I found the blog counter wich records how many people visit this blog. Im very close to 500,000 viewers checking out my blog, wich is incredible and makes it really worth while to continue this blog.

I put in alot of hours and hard work into my blog, but at the end of the day its very satisfying to hear all the kind comments from people who check out my blog.

Thanks again for your kind words and best of luck to you and the Bulldogs this coming season!

Keep up the great work on air and with your blog!

Yours truly, vipersdiehardfan
