On This Day In Vernon Vipers History:

Nine years ago today (March 25th 2011) In Game 6 of the Interior division Finals in the best of seven series vs the Salmon Arm Silverbacks, Vernon Vipers forward Dylan Walchuk scores four goals in a 5-4 Vipers win in Salmon Arm. Vernon outshot Salmon Arm 28-21 Kirby Halcrow made 17 saves in the win, while Kris Moore made 23 saves in the loss in front of 1,590 fans at the Shaw Centre. With the win Vernon wins the series 4-2 and advances to the BCHL League Finals vs the Powell River Kings. Former Vernon Lakers/Vipers forward/captain Jeff Cheeseman holds the Vernon franchise record for most playoff goals in one game, with six back in 1996 in a 6-4 win over the Cowichan Valley Capitals.

VDHF ,
Your series, " This day in Vipers History " , certainly brings back the great memories from the halcyon RBC-Cup-winning days ! Unfortunately it also reminds fans of the depths to which this once-proud franchise has sunk under the lack of leadership from the current owners and team officials . Although it saddens me , I encourage you to continue with your excellent posts .
