Will Arquiett was the Vipers most skilled player this season. With the BCHL regular season still up in the air and Arquiett being drafted by the Wings, can you blame him for leaving? Why wouldn't he leave and have a chance to still play hockey this year, especially being a 20 year old and the future of the BCHL regular season still undecided.

With the BCHL regular season still in question, several players have left the BCHL for the USHL or NAHL. Now that the Christmas break is over, I wouldn't be surprised to see more players leave to play hockey elsewhere.

Penticton Vees forward Quinn Hutson has left the Vees for the USHL Muskegon Lumberjacks

Coquitlam Express forward Jackson Hughes has left the Express for the NAHL Chippewa Steel

Wenatchee Wild forward Quinn Emerson has left the Wild for the NAHL Lone Star Brahmas

Salmon Arm Silverbacks forward Carter Loney has left the Silverbacks for the USHL Sioux City Musketeers

Trail Smoke Eaters forward Cody Schiavon has left the Smoke Eaters for the University of Vermont
