I stopped by Priest Valley Arena after work this evening to catch the first day of Vipers Spring Camp. Each game-scrimmage consisted of two thirty minute periods with a full ice clean in between periods. A penalty was an automatic penalty shot.
In the opening game-scrimmage I caught the final eight minutes between Team Black & Team Blue. Team Blue defeated Team Black 5-3. Team Black had a few big kids with good size on their roster.
In the second game-scrimmage Team White defeated Team Green 4-3 in a game-scrimmage where Team White carried the better of the play for most of the game. Team Green's goaltenders saw a lot of rubber-shots, kept their team in the game. Both teams had several kids with good size. The younger brother of former Vernon Vipers forward Matt Saharchuk, Jett Saharchuk is playing for Team White.
Players I thought stood out-played well
Team White:
Reese Tambellini (1 goal) Has some size, can skate & move the puck. Scored a great looking back hand goal that went top shelf.
Ryan Cooper Played very well through out the game, had some chances-opportunities, skated well, played hard through out the scrimmage.
Erik Ehrmantraut Is another kid with some good size, had some looks-chances, played very well in the loss.
Team Green:
Luca Olivo Had a very strong game on the blueline. Looked like a veteran d-man out there, was steady through out the scrimmage, played well in the defensive zone, can handle the puck, sees the ice well. Made several smart plays through out the night.
Christian Sanda Stood out at times, looked good with the puck in the offensive zone.
James Johnston Started in goal for Team Green before being replaced by backup netminder James Brendeland. Johnston is a big kid, covers a lot of the net, plays his position well. Made some big stops through out the game. Dosnt give up many second opportunities, reads the play well.
James Brendeland Played the second half of the scrimmage, also was very sharp between the pipes for Team Green. Made some key saves, keeping this game close down the stretch.
In the third and final game-scrimmage of the night saw Team Gold defeat Team Red 5-4 in a back and fourth game with some good pace. The play-teams were more evenly matched. Both teams had several chances at either ends of the rink. Not a lot of size on either team, compared to the previous two games-scrimmages. Both teams with much smaller rosters. Goaltending wasn't nearly as sharp-good as in the first two games-scrimmages.
Players I thought stood out-played well
Team Gold:
Tian Rask Has some size and skill. Showed some skill in and around the net looked impressive through out the game.
Side Notes:
Day two of Spring Camp will continue Saturday starting at 8am
Former Vernon Vipers forward Bryce Kakoske was one of the referee's tonight.
Riley Brandt's dad was helping out tonight, was one of the coaches tonight.
The arena was pretty much full for all three games-scrimmages. I saw a lot of Junior B coaches-scouts in attendance.
It looks like the Vipers have brought in a lot of good talent for this year's Spring Camp. Lots of good players through out camp.
