Episode 11 of Vipers Voices is available now on our YouTube Page. Follow the link as we catch up with former Viper goaltender Graeme Gordon (@ggordo35) #OneGoal
Thanks to the Vernon Vipers & Graham Turnbull for putting these videos on! A great interview with Graeme who joked around and made it funny. It's great to get a perspective from former players on what it's like getting traded, playing for good and bad teams and all the behind the scene stuff us fans normally never hear about. I always like Graeme but not many Viper fans were fans of Gordon. I had a lot of negative comments on my blog about him. I was thrilled to hear Graeme went to school and now got his gig working in radio. I was planning my trip to the Royal Bank Cup in Dauphin, Manitoba and was very close to travelling with Graeme's father. About a week before the tournament I got a call from the Vipers office saying Graeme's dad was looking for someone to travel with to split the costs. I ended up going alone but got to meet his dad in Dauphin. Duncan Wray had booked the entire Boston Pizza after the Championship game for the team, staff, & friends and family. I was very lucky to get an invite from Duncan Wray and that's the night I got to meet Graeme's dad. He approached me in Boston Pizza, introducing himself. He was a big supporter and daily reader of my blog. The stories I heard from several Vipers and family members were great and that trip/week is something I'll never forget. If Graeme or his dad is still following the blog, I send out a big hello. Thanks for the interview and the memories from those two seasons.
