  2. The score will be Two for vernon and 0ne for west kelowna if we play a smart keep out of the box hockey game and if we play as a team not individuals for a full 60 minutes. I believe we can do it but we must play with our strengths which is good goaltending and good defense. The West Kelowna warriors are far to skilled a team offensively to try and keep up so we must stick to the plan and play our game right to the end and in doing that there is no shame because you can look back and say you tried your best. Hope for a win. COME ON VIPES YOU CAN DO IT.

  3. 4 games to 1, not a surprising outcome giving the total inept coach and owner. What a total humiliation of a once proud franchise.
