I hope everyone is enjoying "On This Day In Vernon Vipers History" It sure brings back some great or special memories. I wish I could go back to the earlier years in Vernon Vipers history, but the league website only goes back to the 2003-04 season. It's really hard to find game stats from games prior to 2003. Anything prior to 2003 I don't have the box score-game summary or stats. I wish I had stats/info from games going back to the 90's and early 2000's. I have spent countless hours searching the web, old programs, newspaper clippings for anything I could find or try and piece together. I will try my best to keep searching to see what I can find.
