After four seasons behind the bench former Vipers Head Coach-GM Jason Williamson left the team after just two pre-season games. First year Assistant Coach Kevin Kraus will be the go to guy behind Vernon's bench as the teams Interim Head Coach until the Vipers find a new bench boss. The Vipers lost sixteen players from last year's RBC Cup team, have just five returning players back for another season. Second year defenceman Riley Guenther will be the Vipers captain this season. The Vipers finished the pre-season with a 3-1-1-0 record are coming off a 4-4 tie Saturday in Prince George will begin the regular season on a three game road trip before hosting the visiting West Kelowna Warriors in the teams home opener.
