After thirty three long days, Viper fans Finally get to see a home game for the first time since October 19th vs Trail. Beach radio has been hyping tonight's game all week on air and the Vipers are expecting a large crowd tonight. The Snakes have played nineteen of there first twenty five games on the road this season. What a crazy and ridiculous schedule this year!

Go Vipers Go!

It's been a long wait... see you all at the game tonight, go vipers go!

What's the word on Brendan Kim, injured or left the team? Any inside info?

vipersdiehardfan said...

I haven't heard anything on Brendan Kim.

Brendan Kim wasn't listed on the Vipers lineup/roster in the program tonight

What was the deal with Jack Glen being moved up to the 3rd line?

Parents weekend!

Once again Riley was outstanding! Won the game for them again! Vipers now 0-14 on the PP! I think we should forget about Jack Glen obviously he isn't going anywhere! What happened in Trail last night, power failure?

Anonymous said...

Surprise he hasn't been moved to the first line and a fixture on the PP. It is a shame, parents & coaches are not doing this young man any favors. I am sure they have enough money to fund his college education without this embarrassment. He is not skilled enough or strong enough on his skates for Junior A.

I read online that Smoke Eaters defenceman Corey Clifton was seriously hurt last night with about twelve minutes left in the 3rd of a 4-4 hockey game. The game was stopped and then called.
