  1. If someone in Vernon still has these things, they would have to give them to ... gasp... Penticton? Wouldn't it be better if there was a display in those cabinets in the Multiplex right here in Vernon?

    I worked with an older fellow who found the program while cleaning out his parents house after they passed away. He knew I had season tickets to the Vipers and was a big fan and asked if I wanted it. He figures his parents probably took him to that game and would have gone to games as a kid.

    I have collected hockey memorabilia since I was a young kid.

    I use to keep and collect my ticket stubs from Vernon junior hockey games when I was a young kid. As I got older I continued keeping & collecting my ticket stubs. I have every ticket stub from every Vernon junior hockey game, home or away from every game since 1987. I have programs going back to 1987 but have every program from every game I have gone to since 1988.

    Here is a list of Vernon junior hockey memorabilia I have
