Vipers Add Soderlund To Roster:


The Vernon Vipers have added defenceman, Nils-Erik Soderlund to the teams roster after being assigned to an "AP" card two weeks ago. Soderlund has played three games with the Vipers as an "AP" player. Soderlund attended the Vipers training camp, but was unable to start the season with Vernon, as there were issues with his old (major midget) team in Utah regarding team fees. Soderlund sat out the teams first 10 regular season games before finally being able to play October 10th vs Cowichan Valley. With the teams roster already set at "23" (league limit) the Vipers had to sign Soderlund to an "AP" card. In order to make room for Soderlund the team put forward, Brendan Persley on an "AP" card last week. Persley is currently playing with the KIJHL Penticton Lakers. Persley played in just six games with Vernon before joining the Lakers. Persley has played in just one game with the Lakers collecting a single assist.
