COMMITMENT ALERT! – Caller Commits to UBC

May 25, 2020

Vernon, BC:  The Vernon Vipers are pleased to announce that Jackson Caller has committed to the UBC Thunderbirds next season.

The Kamloops product put a nice bow on his junior career with one season with the Vipers.  He tallied 5 goals and 12 assists in 55 games, plus 3 more assists in 5 games in the playoffs.  Caller played big minutes for the group usually against teams top lines.  He played big minutes while shorthanded and had some time on the powerplay.

“I’m extremely excited to be continuing my hockey career and education at one of the best Universities in Canada,” says Caller.

Caller says there were many factors in choosing UBC.  “It has the business school that I like, but also they’ve got a great hockey program.”

UBC had a phenomenal season last year as they made it to the nationals.

“I’m really looking forward to helping contribute to more success for the program,”  Caller says.

The Vipers would like to congratulate Jackson on the commitment and wish him all the best with UBC.

Thank you to the Vipers organization, amazing people surround this team. We were impressed and thankful for the support Jackson got throughout the year from ALL staff. He had the best billet family, Phil and Vicki were so kind and thoughtful, we appreciated all they did for Jackson. We filled those seats each game with family and had a blast, wish it could have kept going. Thank you also to the Glen family for the family dinners they hosted for the team. We will be wishing the Vipers all the best next year!
