Vipers Trim Roster Down To 25
The Vipers website has reported the Vipers have trimmed their roster from 27 down to 25 players. The Vipers started training camp August 19th with 57 players, trimmed down to 42 on August 20th and then down to 34 after the teams annual Blue & White intersquad game on August 21st. The Vipers trimmed their roster down to 27 after a 3-2 exhibition loss to the visiting Alberta Junior Hockey League Grande Prairie Storm August 23rd.
Some things never change. I thought this year might be different, but its the same old "shroud of secrecy" when it involves player cuts. Why can't we be told the names of the players that were released or re-assigned. When we cut down from 33 to 27 it would have been nice to know who left, now its down to 25 and its still a guessing game who's here. We know who the bulk of the roster will consist of, but as a season ticket holder I would like more disclosure.
ReplyDeleteAlso, they have Larry Draper listed as one of the goaltenders. An error. Draper is a coach and if they check his birth certificate, he aged out a few of years ago. I'm pretty sure they mean Ross Hawryluk as the goaltender.
