  1. I was at that seven game against Penticton in there Barn. Yes, Fred H. and coaching staff including the penticton vees hockey players thought they had won. They were all looking at the time remaining and where high fiveing each other as though they had won. But the only thing they had not considered was a team leader by the name of Colin Sparrow who became pissed off at the Vees ATTITUDE and said to his team mates you know what we can win this game and guess what they believed in themselves and took it to the vees and WON,WON. I must tell you after the game it felt like a out of body experience as I was in shock and found it hard to believe we had just Won. To be honest I think we all felt that way. It was a very exciting finish and really enjoyed myself. The only thing I wish I could have done was talk to that Penticton fan who said to bad you travelled this far only to watch your team lose. NEVER SAY ITS OVER TILL ITS OVER. go,vipers,go.
