Game Recap: Vipers Home Opender: Vernon Vipers 7 West Kelowna Warriors 3

I was born and raised in Vernon, BC and been watching/following junior hockey in Vernon my entire life. I started and created this blog in November 2008 and have over 10 million viewers. I have had season tickets since 1990 and missed 46 home games since. My family watched senior men's hockey in Vernon in the 1950's and has been watching/following junior hockey in Vernon since Vernon got a team in 1961. I have two family members that played junior hockey in Vernon. I have programs and ticket stubs from every game since 1988. I worked with the Vipers as colour commentator for a few home games during the 2002-03 season and in 2011 I helped create/design the Vipers website that I was in charge of for five seasons.

I was at tonight's Vernon Vipers-West Kelowna Warriors game as the Vipers won 7-3 in front of 2,206 fans at Kal Tire Place.

Starting Goaltenders:

Vernon Vipers: Samuel DiBlasi

West Kelowna Warriors: Ethan Swayer 

1st Period: The visiting Warriors jumped on the Vipers early. Veteran forward Kelsen Podworny opened the scoring, giving the Warriors a 1-0 lead at 0:52 West Kelowna was the better team early, had lots of jump and early pressure/zone time, carried and controlled the play for the first couple of minutes. The hometown Vipers responded with a quick turn around and were the better team for the remainder of the opening frame. The Snakes carried and controlled the remainder of the period, had a good transition game, were moving the puck well, getting lots of zone time, getting pucks to the net and capitalizing on their chances. Vernon's PK was very good, scored twice on the penalty kill. It was 3-1 Vernon after 20 minutes of play. Shots were 13-5 Vipers.

2nd Period: The Warriors were the better team for most of the middle frame. The Tribe carried and controlled a lot of the period, had an edge in play. West Kelowna looked to have a step up on Vernon, were just a tad quicker, had more puck possession, more zone time, more shots on goal, more opportunities and just played better. WK had several quality looks/chances but Samuel DiBlasi was very good in goal for the Snakes. The Vipers couldn't seem to get much going this period. The Snakes looked a little sluggish, weren't as sharp, just didn't look as good or play as good as the 1st period. Vernon struggled a bit in their own end, and offensively, didn't get nearly as many shots on goal or opportunities. The Vipers did have a couple of good shifts here and there but overall just weren't as sharp this period. It was 4-2 Vipers after 40 minutes of play. Shots were 14-6 West Kelowna.

Game Recap: Vernon Vipers 5 Salmon Arm Silverbacks 1

I was born and raised in Vernon, BC and been watching/following junior hockey in Vernon my entire life. I started and created this blog in November 2008 and have over 10 million viewers. I have had season tickets since 1990 and missed 46 home games since. My family watched senior men's hockey in Vernon in the 1950's and has been watching/following junior hockey in Vernon since Vernon got a team in 1961.

I worked with the Vipers as colour commentator for a few home games during the 2002-03 season and in 2011 I helped create/design the Vipers website that I was in charge of for five seasons.

I was at tonight's Vernon Vipers-Salmon Arm Silverbacks game as the Vipers won 5-1 in front of 874 fans at Rogers Rink.

Starting Goaltenders:

Vernon Vipers: Kason Kobelka

Salmon Arm Silverbacks: Noah Mavin

1st Period: The hometown Silverbacks jumped on the Vernon Vipers early and often as it was all Salmon Arm in the first half of the opening frame. The Gorillas had a ton of jump/energy come flying out of the gates with a ton of speed, a strong/aggressive forecheck, were hard in on pucks and winning all the early battles. SA was getting pucks to the net and generating some offence. Shots were 9-1 Silverbacks at the midway point. The visiting Vipers didn't get off to a great start, were back on their heels, were chasing the puck and the S'Backs most of the first ten minutes. The Snakes struggled offensively, had trouble getting into the o zone, saw a lot of action early in their own end. Former Trail Smoke Eaters goaltender Kason Kobelka made his Vipers debut tonight, was forced to make a couple of bi stops in the first half, keeping the game scoreless. Boy oh boy did the tables turn in the second half as it was all Vernon as the Vipers pushed back and played a heck of a finish to end the period. In and around the halfway mark, Toms Trockis was denied on a breakaway, before Alexander Eklof was stopped on a penalty shot. Shortly after Cohen Hoening come within inches of giving the Apes the lead but hit the crossbar. The Snakes quickly turned the game around in the second half and were the better team in the second half. Vernon was skating, moving the puck, getting lots of zone time/pressure and started to rack up shots on goal. It was now Salmon Arm who was spending a lot of time in their own end, were the ones now chasing the puck. Both goaltenders played well. It was 1-0 Vernon after 20 minutes of play. Shots were 14-13 Silverbacks.

2nd Period: Tommy Karmiris gave the Snakes a 2-0 lead at 0:21 on the first shot of the period. The Vipers had some early jump and were the better team in the opening few minutes, but the Backs had the edge in play in the first half but Vernon's goaltender and defence played very well, taking away time and space and limiting the Silverbacks opportunities. SA had a little more puck possession and were getting pucks to the net but weren't dominating the play. The Vipers were the better team in the second half, didn't get a whole lot of shots on net but overall were the better team in the second half. The Vipers did a lot of the little things right. It was 3-0 Vernon after 40 minutes of play. Shots were 15-6 Salmon Arm.
