Saw some of the Vipers Camp this afternoon. Heres some kids that I thought stood out,

Kyle Franzius (Team White) Looked very solid up front. A bigger kid who skates very well, and really handles the puck. Seems to read the play very well. Has some nice hands.

Colton Donselaar (Team White) Played well defensively. Rob Short (Team Black) Scored 2 Goals & atleast 1 Assist. Short was by far the best player on the ice. Played well at both ends, showed alot of hustle. Was really skating strong all afternoon.

Curtis Summerfelt (Team Black) Played as an "AP" two years ago with Vernon, played last season in the WHA with Lumby. I liked the looks of this kid when he played with the Vipers 2 seasons ago and thought he stood out this afternoon. Very strong skater, with some soft hands around the net. Had many good scoring chances, nice moves down low. Outskated most of the kids on the ice.

Brooks Christensen (Team Yellow) Looked very solid up front, was Team Yellows best player, looked like a Jr A player, was wearing a visor. Solid skater and nice shot. Tyler Steel (Team Yellow) Played very well between the pipes. Very quick on his feet, plays his position well. Made some nice saves down low, stopped two breakaways. Was one of the better Goaltenders in Camp.

Talked to a Vipers season ticket holder who knows a few of the Vipers scouts. He was telling me the Vipers are looking at improving in Goal and have someone they are interested in. Saw alot of kids wearing Revelstoke Grizzlie Jackets, one kid was wearing a Trail Smoke Eaters jacket.
