Day 2 Report From Vernon Vipers Spring Camp:

 I have been watching/following Junior hockey in Vernon my whole life. I have had season tickets since 1990

I stopped by Kal Tire Place North this morning to catch Team Yellow vs Team Green and returned this evening to watch Team Blue vs Team White & Team Green vs Team Red.

Each scrimmage/game is two thirty minute non-stop running periods with a full ice clean between periods. All penalties are an automatic penalty shot.

It's hard to really follow the teams/players with no rosters/lineup sheets available to the fans.

In all three scrimmages/games I attended today the attendance was very good with lots of fans at each game.

The final day of Spring Camp goes Sunday. The Vipers didn't post a Spring Camp schedule so I don't know when the games are.

Here are some photo's I took from Spring Camp,

Biggest question. Who will coach and manage the team next season? It is most important that the new guy has contacts around the hockey world in North America. Somebody who can recruit top players.

What a dumb time to have spring camp. Who even planned this shit? Or is the City planning on taking the ice out early? I mean, why would Vernon ever keep one sheet frozen into the summer…

Most BCHL teams hold spring camps in late April/early May. Thus the term SPRING camp. But are they dumb as sh*% too?
