Vernon (0-0-0) vs Trail (0-0-0) (Game being played in Chase)Tonight is the first exibition meeting between these two teams as the defending back to back Royal Bank Cup Champion Vernon Vipers face off against the Trail Smoke Eaters. Vernon won all six meetings between these two teams last year.
Let's take a look at the Vernon Vipers:
Vernon finished atop the BCHL standings last season with a record of 51-6-0-3 winning the 2010 Royal Bank Cup. The Vipers have just seven players back from last years championship team. Some Viper fans are calling this a rebuilding season. Vernon has lost some key veterans from last years team, wich will be very hard to replace. Tonight is the Vipers first of two back to back exibition games vs Trail.

Let's take a look at the Trail Smoke Eaters:
Trail finished the regular season last year with a record of 20-32-1-7 finishing off in 6th place in the Interior Division, but went out in five games in the first round of the playoffs to the Westside Warriors. The Smokies have eleven players returning from last years hockey club. Trail will be looking to compete with some of the top Interior teams this coming season. Can the Smoke Eaters stay in the top four in the Interior Division? Trail has some key veterans returning, that will try and help lead the Smokies into a long playoff run. Veteran goaltender Kiefer Smiley will be heavily relied apon to make the big save between the pipes for the Smokies. This is Trails first of two straight games vs the defending RBC Cup Champs.
