I was born and raised in Vernon, BC and have been watching Junior hockey in Vernon for close to thirty five years. I have had season tickets for 28 years. My family has been following-watching Senior Mens/Junior hockey in Vernon since the late 1950s. I have two family members that played Junior hockey in Vernon as well as a few friends. I purchased my first set of season tickets in 1990, since then I have missed only 42 home games. I have missed just three home games since 1999. The last home game I missed was in 2009. I attended the 1990 Centennial Cup in Vernon, watching the Lakers win their first National Championship. I have also travelled and went to the 2009 Royal Bank Cup in Victoria, the 2010 Royal Bank Cup in Dauphin and the 2011 Royal Bank Cup in Camrose & of course was at the 2014 RBC Cup here in Vernon. I helped out as color commentator with the Vipers during the 2003-04 season doing some games over the internet and for five seasons (2011-2015) helped out with updating the Vipers website through out the years.
This will be the tenth season of my Vipersdiehardfan Blog. I started this blog in December of 2008 and since then I have had over 1.3 million viewers visit this site.
During the upcoming Vipers season I will try my best at keeping Viper fans updated through the year. Over the course of this season I will keep fans in the loop with Game previews, scores, game recaps, newspaper articles, trades, roster moves, game highlight's, videos, alumni updates and much much more.
Thanks to all of you for visiting this site and your continued support! I cant thank you enough!
