Captain Jagger, who bleeds Viper white , blue , and gold , should have his sweater retired to the rafters of Kal Tire Place upon completion of his junior hockey career. He has served the Vipers well : he is the ultimate leader !
Yes I totally agree! I also think Connor & Kellen Jones should have their numbers retired. I wonder if Duncan Wray had planned on retiring any other jerseys before he passed away? With new ownership it will be interesting to see if they retire any former players? Will the new owners keep the Vipers name-tradition and history or change the name in the future?
