The Vernon Vipers are pleased to announce two commitments for the upcoming season. Brett Switzer and Adam Thompson, both from the provincial champion Calgary Buffaloes, have committed to play for the Vipers. The two have been teammates for many years and are very excited to come to Vernon. Brett Switzer, a 5’9” forward, has been an offensive threat for the Buffaloes the whole season. Recently he has lead the Alberta Midget Hockey League in scoring through the playoffs with 12 goals and 8 assists in 12 games played. During the regular season he also put up some very impressive numbers, in 36 games played he had 28 goals and 20 assists for 48 points. He was also selected to the AMHL All-star team. Switzer has also been a clutch performer at the Mac’s AAA midget hockey tournament in Calgary, a very prestigious tournament. For the past two tournaments Brett has been named a 2nd team all-star, putting him in a very elite group. Adam Thompson, a 6’1” defenseman, has been very solid on the back end while putting up some very impressive offensive numbers at the same time. Adam has played a ton of minutes throughout the playoffs leading his team to the provincial championship. In 12 playoff games he has 3 goals and 4 assists for 7 points. He was just as steady in the regular season where in 36 games he had 11 goals and 17 assists for 28 points. Thompson was selected as a starter for the AMHL All-Star game and at the skills competition finished second in the hardest shot. Adam was also selected as a 2nd team All-Star at the Mac’s AAA Midget hockey tournament. The Vernon Vipers would also like to wish the two good luck in the upcoming Pacific Championship where the Calgary Buffaloes will face off against the Cariboo Cougars
