I was at tonight's Vipers-Vees game as Vernon defeated Penticton 2-0 in front of 1,965 fans at Kal Tire Place.
Starting Goaltenders:
Vernon: James Porter Jr
Penticton: Carl Stankowski
1st Period: The Vipers with a good start, had a good hard shift off the opening puck drop. Jackson Caller's point shot twenty two seconds into the hockey game just barely missed the far post on a shot that somehow found it's way through traffic. Forty seconds later, the son of former NHLer Doug Weight, Danny Weight left alone in the slot, fired high and wide of the goal, on an early missed opportunity. Shortly after local product Matt Kowalski setup "AP" Seiya Tanaka-Campbell on the two on one. Tanaka Campbell who attended the Vipers training camp ripped a shot over the glove of Carl Stankowski, scored his first career BCHL goal, giving Vernon the early lead at 1:48 Kowalski drew the lone helper. About a minute and a half later the Snakes setup Jo Jo Tanaka-Campbell in the high slot would be denied by Carl Stankowski. At the midway mark, Danny Weight looked to be in the clear, before former Wenatchee Wild defenceman Nicholas Kent used his wheels to get back in the play, made a strong defensive play without taking a penalty, didn't allow Weight to get a shot off. About four minutes later Vees captain and smooth skating forward David Silye with a grade a chance, couldn't solve former Kelowna Rockets netminder James Porter Jr. With about three minutes remaining in the opening frame, Matt Kowalski drove hard towards the goal, looked to have Carl Stankowski down and out, couldn't hit the open cage on a strong stick from a Penticton defender, or it would be 2-0 Vernon. The Vees with a quick transition moved the play up ice in a hurry, spotting Evan McIntyre going to the goal, but the Vees d-man couldn't get the puck past James Porter Jr on two shots from the blue paint. Porter Jr from his belly had to really stretch his legs out to keep his pads tight against the post on McIntyre's second shot, as the visiting Penticton Vees come very close to tying the game with two and a half minutes left in the 1st period. With 1:01 left the Vees get caught with too many men on the ice, giving the Vipers the games first power play late to finish the period. Matt Kowalski with a good look/opportunity couldn't solve Carl Stankowski before the period ended. It was 1-0 Vernon after 20 minutes of play. I thought the Snakes had a really good start to tonight's game. The Vipers had a good opening shift, had one real good look from the blueline before opening the scoring. Vernon didn't have a lot of puck possession, were caught chasing Penticton at times. The Snakes had troubles in there own end, either turned over the puck or coughed up the puck trying to break out of there own end. Vernon with a few looks/chances had troubles generating offence. James Porter Jr had to be sharp and was, made some big stops. The Vees were the better team and carried a lot of the play. Penticton is very quick, moves the puck around well and dangerous down low. The Vees were very strong with and without the puck in the offensive zone, were very strong on the cycle and hard to contain. Penticton was also very good defensively, seemed to shut Vernon down coming across the red line. The Vees had several good looks/opportunities. Penticton outshot Vernon 13-9.
2nd Period: The Snakes started the period on the man advantage that was carried over from the 1st period. Vernon struggled off the opening faceoff as Penticton with a very aggressive penalty kill, had the Vipers hemmed in there own. The son of former NHLer Stu Barnes, Jack Barnes with a good look/opportunity shorthanded couldn't beat Vernon Vipers starting goaltender James Porter Jr. The Vipers struggled with the PP before the Vees killed off the remainder of the penalty. Shortly after killing off the minor, Liam Malmquist with a strong shift, would be denied in close by James Porter as Penticton was all over the hometown Vipers early and often. Just before the halfway mark, Matt Kowalski and Dawson Holt on a two on one attack. Kowalski decided to keep and shoot, would be stopped by Penticton Vees goaltender Carl Stankowski. Two minutes later, Liam Malmquist with his second look/chance of the period couldn't tie the hockey game on another stop by James Porter Jr. In the second half Penticton continued to pour on the pressure as the Vees had several looks/quality chances in and around the goal but couldn't solve James Porter Jr. With 1:04 left in the middle frame, Penticton would get it's first look with the PP. The Vipers would escape before the final buzzer. It was 1-0 Vernon after 40 minutes of play. The Vees dominated the entire period outplayed Vernon from the start to the end of the 2nd period but couldn't find the back of the net. Penticton with a ton of real good looks/opportunities, couldn't bury there chances. James Porter Jr was the difference, who was solid between the pipes, kept the Snakes in the contest. The Vees couldn't catch a break or get any puck luck. The Vipers played most of the entire period in there own end. Vernon struggled at clearing the zone and getting through the neutral zone. For a second straight period, the Vipers turned over and coughed up pucks inside there own blueline. The Snakes caught a few breaks, had some puck luck go there way. Penticton outshot Vernon 18-9.
3rd Period: The Vees started the final frame on the power play. Connor Hutchison with a wicked shot from the circle beat James Porter Jr but not the crossbar as Penticton come within inches of tying the hockey game. The Vipers would escape and kill off the minor. The Vees didn't back down and kept pressing. James Porter Jr was forced to make two large saves about five minutes in. One at the top of the crease, before another pad save off a shot from the slot. These two shots were labelled. Minutes later David Silye and Danny Weight with good looks/quality chances couldn't beat James Porter Jr. Just before the midway mark on a scrum after the whistle, Jackson Caller and Lukas Sillinger got tangled up, before exchanging words and a few punches as both players were sent to the sin bin. In the second half the Vees just couldn't catch a break or a bounce as James Porter Jr caught a few bounces, as the puck just rolled through the crease or just missed the far post. Penticton with a few goal mouth scrambles, kept banging away at the loose puck, just couldn't get the puck to find it's way through bodies and into the back of the net. With about four and a half minutes remaining, Matt Kowalski setup "AP" Carter Streek on an odd man rush, but Carl Stankowski come across the blue paint to make a large pad save, keeping this a one goal game. A great chance for Vernon to extend there lead. With the Vees pressing late, Penticton couldn't corral the puck before Matt Kowalski setup Seiya Tanaka-Campbell who patiently outwaited the Vees defender before spotting Trey Taylor who joined the rush, beat Carl Stankowski on the breakaway going post and in, giving Vernon a 2-0 lead at 18:06 sending the fans inside Kal Tire Place into a frenzy on a play I don't think many fans or even the Vipers knew if the puck had gone in as the Vipers were having technical difficulties with the goal light at that end of the rink most of the period. The goal light didn't go on before the goal judge was waiving a white towel. Earlier in the period for several minutes the red goal light and the green light period lights were flashing on and off through out the game. A couple of home games ago the Vipers were having the same kind of electrical problems with the goal lights at the other end of the rink. Either way it was 2-0 Vernon. Tanaka-Campbell and Kowalski collected the assists. Shortly after Fred Harbinson and the Vees would call a late timeout before getting Carl Stankowski to the bench for the extra attacker with 1:25 left in the hockey game. With Penticton pressing, Jackson Caller come up with a large shot block before Dawson Holt from his own end of the rink, missed the open cage but inches as Vernon iced the puck. The Snakes would actually miss the open net by just a few inches on three different occasions, on all three shots the Vipers would be called for icing. Vernon was able to slowly wind down the clock and get a few blocks inside the final minute, as the crowd come to there feet in the dying seconds as Vernon hung on for the 2-0 victory. As the Vipers jumped over the boards to celebrate the win, former Vernon Vipers forward Tyler Ho and a second Penticton Vee player were in the corner mixing things up as tempers heated up at the buzzer. The officials quickly jumped in, breaking the teams up while the Vees were exchanging words with the Vipers on there way off the ice. For a second straight period it was all Penticton. I don't think the Vees dominated the play/period like they did in the middle frame, but they sure carried a lot of the play. Penticton saw a lot of action in the offensive zone, were strong with and without the puck, had several good looks/quality chances but again just couldn't find the back of the net, or should I say solve James Porter Jr. The Vees didn't catch a break or have any puck luck as the Vipers get lucky on a few plays in and around the front of the net. The Snakes saw a lot of time in there own end but at the same time I thought Vernon dug deep and played with a little more grit and determination down the stretch. I saw the Vipers grinding out some shifts, battling hard along the wall, eating some minutes off the clock etc. Vernon also did create/generate a few looks/chances, may have not got many pucks to the net, but were at least trying to be creative and find some kind of offence. Penticton outshot Vernon 11-4.
Top Player's: (Vernon)
Jackson Caller I thought was very solid on the Vipers backend. Was a key piece back there for the Snakes tonight. Come up with a huge shot block inside the final minute. Saw a lot of minutes tonight.
The line of Matt Kowalski (2 assists), Dawson Holt & Carter Streek created/generated most of the Vipers opportunities. Vernon really had a hard time gaining any kind of traction, had troubles getting across the red line but these three seemed to find ways to try and create/generate chances.
Connor Sleeth Didn't get on the scoreboard but it wasn't for a lack of trying. Sleeth has been a huge bust this season but in some games, I can see that upside to his game. He has the skill and speed but for whatever reason, has struggled playing in Vernon and the BCHL this season. I thought played well in the win tonight. Really used his speed, had two opportunities to go in for the breakaway but either was chased down or couldn't connect on the puck/pass. I thought worked hard and battled tonight.
Brett Fudger Was another kid who didn't register a point but was a warrior along the boards. Played with some grit, battled and competed all night. Did a lot of the little things, most fans don't see in a hockey game.
Seiya Tanaka-Campbell (1 goal & 1 assist) Scored his first career BCHL goal in just his third game with the Snakes. Attended the Vipers training camp was one of the last cuts, has been an affiliated player with the Vipers this season. This kid really impressed me in training camp, has some wheels and hockey smarts. Knows where the puck is at all times. Is dangerous with and without the puck. A very smart play and move to create/setup Trey Taylor on Vernon's second goal.
James Porter Jr (42 saves/Shutout) Picked up his first career BCHL shutout. After losing his first four games has now won back to back games and improves to 4-2 this season. If it wasn't for James Porter Jr tonight, this game would have not even been close. Porter Jr was dialed in and solid between the pipes for the Snakes. He kept Vernon in the hockey game all night. Porter Jr was also lucky at times, had some help from the hockey gods, got some pucks to bounce his way this evening.
Game Thought's: (Vernon)
Tonight's game and home & home series with the Penticton Vees looked to be one heck of a series this weekend, that was before the Vipers lost several players to injury or sickness. The Snakes with eight players out of the lineup tonight, were forced to call up five "AP"s/affiliated players. The Vipers were outplayed and dominated for most of tonight's game, heavily relied on James Porter Jr who made 42 saves for the win/shutout. The Snakes were very lucky at times, had the bounces and puck luck go there way the entire game. The Vees were the better of the two teams in the 1st period, but the Vipers did play well now and again. It was the 2nd and 3rd periods where Penticton dominated the play and outplayed Vernon in the final two periods. The Vipers really struggled clearing the zone/getting out of there own end. Vernon either coughed up the puck or turned over the puck on numerous times through out the game and still managed to shutout the Penticton Vees. The Snakes struggled getting across the red line and gaining any kind of traction. The Vipers couldn't sustain any kind of pressure or zone time in the offensive zone. It was one shift and out. Vernon had troubles getting pucks to the net. With eight regulars out of the lineup and five affiliated players in the lineup, Vernon struggled offensively and had troubles creating/generating chances. The Vipers saw a lot of time in there own end, were basically hanging on by a thread for minutes at a time. The Vipers were chasing the Vees all night and somehow managed to get out of each period without giving up a single goal. It's gotta be very difficult to play with a new line mate and one that's making the jump from Junior B. All four Viper lines were mixed up due to the five affiliated players in the lineup. Four of the five kids did there best and tried hard but at times were no match for the Vees. Out of the five I thought Seiya Tanaka-Campbell, Isaac Suppin and Noah Leibl played well at times. When I arrived at the rink and first heard the Vipers were without eight regulars, I didn't think Vernon had a chance. This is why they play the game. Vernon had no business being in tonight's game and no business even having a chance to win. If it wasn't for James Porter Jr Penticton could have easily won 10-2. Give the boys credit for battling, hanging in there and holding on for the win and the two points on a night when I don't think many fans even gave them a chance. With the Vipers playing most of the remainder of the season at home, these home games are huge. How big is tonight's win? This was a huge test and could be a huge turning point in the Snakes season. These kinds of games/wins build character and bring teams together more then people know. The Vipers better not get too excited because tomorrow's game in the Peach City in front of a large hostile environment is going to be even bigger then tonight's game. Expect a large rowdy crowd at the South Okanagan Events Centre tomorrow. The Vipers have three real big games before the Christmas break. The Vipers have won five straight. With the win Vernon improves to 19-12-1-1 move into 3rd place are tied in points with 4th place Salmon Arm. The Vipers are two points ahead of 5th place Wenatchee and six points back of 2nd place Trail.
Top Player's: (Penticton)
Evan McIntyre Was solid on the Vees blueline. Played very well at both ends of the rink. Joined the rush/play. A big kid who can play at both ends of the rink.
Nico Somerville recently acquired from the Victoria Grizzlies is a very nice addition. I really liked his game and style. Was physical, finished his checks and laid out a few big hits. Was very good at standing guys up at the blueline.
Danny Weight Very shifty. Can skate, make plays happen and dangerous with and without the puck. Gave Vernon troubles all night. Had several looks/opportunities through out the game. Wasn't very good on the draw but very skilled.
David Silye The Vees captain was another kid who has wheels, was all over the ice in the Vees loss tonight. Was hard to contain and defend against, gave the Snakes all kinds of trouble. A very smooth skater, can move the puck and make things happen in a hurry.
Liam Malmquist Was another Penticton forward who caught my attention. A bigger body who can skate, move the puck and create/generate plays. Had several looks/opportunities tonight.
Carson Kosobud A big strong d-man that is hard to beat one on one. Has a heavy shot and likes to get pucks to the net, is very solid on the backend.
Game Thought's: (Penticton)
The visiting Penticton Vees fully deserved more then a loss tonight. The Vees dominated and outplayed the hometown Vipers for most of the game. It was basically all Penticton other then a few shifts from time to time in the 1st period. The Vees carried most of the play, had a ton of puck possession, looked to have the puck on a string through out most of the evening. Penticton had a ton of good looks/quality chances couldn't beat James Porter Jr who was the difference in tonight's game. The Vees couldn't catch a break or get any bounces go there way. It was the Snakes who got lucky at times, were the team who caught the bounces and got some extra help. Penticton is very quick, has a ton of team speed, can move the puck in a hurry, has a quick transition game, is very hard to contain and defend against. The Vees look to have some very quick, yet skilled forwards but also allow the d-men to get involved in the play. The Vees could have easily had at least eight goals if it wasn't for Vernon's goaltending. In the 2nd period at times it was like watching men against boys. The Vees may want to try and get a few more bodies in front of Vernon's goaltender and play a little more in the grey area. Penticton did almost everything right tonight, but managed to lose. Give credit to the Vees, who for a team couldn't buy a goal, I didn't see any frustration on the faces of the players. This team looks to be very confident and plays with a ton of confidence. From the 2nd period on I was just waiting for the Vees to eventually get on the scoreboard and then take the lead minutes later, as in past year's that seems to be the normal. Over the years how many times have I seen the Vees tie the game late and then score the overtime winner or tie the game and then grab the lead a few minutes later. Vees goaltender Carl Stankowski was facing his former team for the first time. Stankowski never played a game with the Vipers, but the Snakes held his rights before being traded to Penticton October 23rd 2019. I was very surprised to see no Vees fans in attendance. Maybe there was a few and I missed them, but overall the Vees faithful travel well on the road. The Snakes snapped Penticton's two game winning streak. These two teams will meet again Saturday in Penticton and again on New Years Day in Vernon. The Vees have won three of there last five are 5-5 in there last ten games. With the loss Penticton falls to 25-10-1-0 sit atop the Interior division are five points up on Trail and eleven points up on Vernon.

GAME RECAP: Vees Stymied By Vipers In Vernon
December 14, 2019
VERNON, B.C. – The Penticton Vees threw 42 shots on goal but couldn’t get anything past James Porter Jr. as they fell to the Vernon Vipers by a 2-0 score on Friday night at Kal Tire Place.
Scoring came early in the hockey game as the Vipers came out with an energized start and took the opening lead just 1:48 into the contest. Matt Kowalski led the rush through the neutral zone, getting inside the blue line before deferring to the right-wing where affiliate player Seiya Tanaka-Campbell took the pass and put a shot past the glove side of Vees netminder Carl Stankowski to give Vernon a 1-0 advantage.
The Vees responded well to the goal, bringing pressure to the net and forcing pucks to the goal but Vipers goaltender James Porter Jr. stood tall in the crease, making saves on each of the 13 shots he faced in the opening 20 minutes to help him team to a one-goal lead heading into the intermission.
18 shots on goal in the 2nd period had the Vees all around the Vernon net but, once again, James Porter Jr. was the difference in keeping the Vipers ahead by a 1-0 score. Porter made a strong save on Liam Malmquist early in the period as the Vees forward worked his way into the left face-off circle before seeing his shot fought off by the blocker shoulder of Porter.
Jackson Niedermayer had a couple of good cracks to get the Vees on the board, standing in front of the Viper goal after receiving a pass from the left-wing corner off the stick of Danny Weight but Porter denied him with each try with the right pad that kept the game at 1-0 and would remain that way into the 3rd period.
With a lopsided advantage in shots, the Vees continued to pepper the Vipers net in the 3rd period, outshooting them by an 11-4 margin the game’s final period with Porter again standing tall as the difference. Penticton had a few opportunities with the puck near the front of the net but the Viper goaltender reacted well and made each stop.
The best chance to score in the final period for the Vees came on a one-time shot from the right face-off circle as Conner Hutchison was fed from the left point and put the puck towards goal with Porter coming over and making a glove stop to keep the game in favour of the home side.
Vernon added an insurance marker late in the 3rd period at the 18:06 mark as Trey Taylor gave the Vipers a 2-0 advantage. Seiya Tanaka-Campbell cut in across the blue line and laid a pass ahead for Taylor, who was fighting a defender as he went to the net and beat the blocker side of Stankowski to give Vernon a 2-0 lead that would hold up for the eventual final score.
James Porter Jr. was the difference in the hockey game, turning aside all 42 shots he faced in his 2nd win of the season while Carl Stankowski stopped 20 of the 22 shots thrown his way in his 3rd loss of the season.
FINAL SCORE: 2-0 Vipers
SHOTS ON GOAL: 42-22 Vees

After the Buzzer – Porter Perfect as Vipers Blank Vees
December 13, 2019
Vernon, BC: James Porter Jr. stopped all 42 shots put his way for his first BCHL shutout and Seiya Tanaka-Campbell had a goal and an assist the the Vernon Vipers shut out the Penticton Vees 2-0.
The Vipers struck on just their second shot of the game as Matt Kowalski set up Seiya Tanaka-Campbell who ripped a shot low to the glove side of Carl Stankowski for his first BCHL goal just 1:48 into the hockey game. The Vees put the pressure on after that testing Porter Jr. on a number of different sequences. The Vipers had a powerplay in the frame, but couldn't find the back of the net as the period ended 1-0 with the shots favouring Penticton 13-9.
In the second, it was all Penticton they put 18 shots at the Viper goal, but again it was Porter standing tall. The Vipers sacrificed the body on a number of different sequences as well making sure pucks didn't get through clean. Liam Malmquist had the best Vees chance in the period but was stopped by Porter who got the shaft of the stick on it. Penticton had a late powerplay, but couldn't capitalize as the second period ended 1-0. Shots after 40 minutes were 31-18 in the Vees favour.
In the third, the Vipers continued to do a nice job of keeping the Vees to the outside and cutting down on the quality scoring chances. All 20 players had plenty of ice time and played a simple effective game. As the Vees pushed for the equalizer, the Vipers were able to block a shot and transition up the ice. Seiya Tanaka-Campbell set up Trey Taylor who buried for his 4th of the season to make it 2-0. The Vees would pull their goalie in an attempt to break the shutout, but again some timely shot blocking and saves from Porter allowed the horn to expire for a 2-0 Vipers win.
With the win, the Vipers win streak is now pushed to 5.
These two teams will meet again Saturday night at the SOEC starting at 6pm.
I was very impressed with the 5 AP players. They started the game with the "deer in the headlights" look but quickly settled in and all made huge contributions to this win. I would love to see Seiya play next year with JoJo but it depends on whether Yale wants JoJo to stay here another year.
A very classy decision by the Viper Management to have all the AP's name bars on their jerseys. I don't recall seeing this in previous years but it was impressive. The AP's immediately feel part of the team and not just a spare part. I am quick to criticize the new ownership so must congratulate them on this. Well done!!!
Let's do it again tonight boys. Go Vipers Go!!!
What an outstanding performance from James Porter and the 5 AP's. It was obvious the coach had a lot of confidence in them to put them out there on a consistent basis. With that being said I was disappointed in the performance of a few regulars. Helgeson, Feist , Fudger and Glenn all had an opportunity for extra big minutes and they all looked like plugs out there in my opinion. Keep the AP's cause you'll at least get an effort.
Did Danny Weight spit at Trey Taylor at tne end of the game? Saw Jason Mckee talking to both referees at the end.
I also like the idea of the Vipers putting the name bars on the affiliated player's jerseys. Not only does it not look professional but you don't get fans wondering whos #27 or whos #5? I mentioned this before earlier in the season and noticed the Vipers new ownership put the "AP" name bars on there jerseys. Duncan Wray and the Vipers never did this, my guess is because it cost money and the kid would only play one game and see a few shifts. Duncan also didn't have the money. The new owners have the money and it also makes the team look more professional and makes the kids feel special, like there part of the team. I watch all Vipers away games on the computer and on the eleven game road trip, even the backup "AP" goaltender on the bench had his name on his jersey.
JFC you flip flop more on your opinion of the new owners than a dying salmon. Please elaborate more on Dr Wray finances too if you're so in the know.
I am aware the vipers has many out of the line up but pentictPe was also missing 2 of their key players. The APs for Vernon looked to play better than the guys actually on the team. This was an embarrassing game to watch as if it wasn't for Porter, this would not have been a vipers win. Nearly the entire game took place in the vipers end. Very sloppy, not put together, an all around bad performance from the vipes. Jack Glen looked dazed and confused as usual mostly just in the way. Kudos to Porter for being one of the only players on the ice to be actually doing what he was supposed to be doing. I guarantee if they play like this again tonight Penticton will slaughter them at home
I was impressed by the effort last night. Snakes were outplayed most of the game but I think they did the best they could with what they had.
Heard connor Marritt should be back in tonight.
Porter jr was unbelievable last night!
I'd give him the start again tonight if he's not too tired. See if he can keep the momentum going.
I would be surprised if vipers came away with another win tonight, but it's definitely possible
Vee"s were missing TWO players,Vipers missing EIGHT..."Embarrassing game to watch,if not for Porter",News Flash,Porter is a TEAM member.The game may not have been played mistake free,however the understaffed Vipers found a way to a "W",give the group some credit (not just Porter) did you happen to notice Callers 40 minutes of ice ? OUTSTANDING !Will they win tonight ? Who knows,they have 2 of 4 in the bank !
