Number 20 forever

by viper staff Added 2010-09-14

The Vernon Vipers will retire their first ever jersey on Saturday September 18th. The Vipers will host the Penticton Vees and long time Viper, Rob Short will see his number in the rafters of the Wesbild Centre as the last Viper to wear number 20.
Rob Short played minor hockey in Lumby and always wanted to play for the local Vernon team. In 2006 Short reached his goal and made the team putting on jersey number 20, four years later jersey number 20 will forever be known as Rob Shorts.
We welcome fans and media to the first ever jersey retirement this Saturday to honour local boy Rob Short and his tremendous career and commitment to the Vernon Vipers.
