Vipers secure coaching staff

The Vernon Vipers are very pleased to announce that Head Coach and General Manager Mark Ferner has agreed to a three year contract extension.

With Ferner at the helm the Vipers finished on top of the BCHL’s Interior Conference in 2008-2009 with a record of 42-14-1-3. Now in his second season with the club his BCHL regular season coaching record now stands at 78-34-3-5.

Vernon Vipers owner Dr. Duncan Wray is thrilled to have the current Interior Conference Coach of the Year under contract through 2012. “I am very pleased that we have been able to secure Mark for the next four years. He has proven himself to be among the pre-eminent coaches in all of junior hockey as evidenced by his award this season.

The Vipers have also signed Assistant Coach Jason Williamson to an extension as well. Wray is happy to have him back on board for next season. “Jason has proven to be a reliable and valuable member of our coaching staff, who is a perfect compliment to Mark’s style. I am extremely proud of his contribution to the ongoing success of our team. Vipers players, fans and recruits can rest easy knowing there will be continuity in the organization for the foreseeable future.”
