Game Recap - Regular Season Opener: Trail Smoke Eaters 5 Vernon Vipers 3
The Trail Smoke Eaters open the 2024-25 regular season opener with a 5-3 victory over the visiting Vernon Vipers in front of 1,621 fans at the Cominco Arena.
I watched the Vipers game online tonight. I thought other then some mistakes and your going to get those on opening night/early in the new season, I thought this was a very good-close game and very entertaining. Sure the Vipers made some mistakes but also looked good at times. Vernon struggled at times in there own end/ I thought both teams were pretty even in the 1st period, with the Smoke Eaters having a bit of an edge in play in the 2nd period, before Vernon having a bit of an edge in play at times in the 3rd. The Snakes get to within a goal, just can't get a bounce or puck luck to tie the game. One thing I noticed was the Snakes hard work, compete level, some thing we didn't see a lot of with Jason McKee as Head Coach. Landon MacDonald and Will Schumacher who were both signed this week, looked good/played well. I heard there names a lot through out the broadcast. Rookie Vinny Ipri scored but I thought had a rough game, really struggled through out the game. A good size crowd for the Smokies home opener.
Vipers start the regular season with a three game road trip. A tough task ahead in Cranbrook tomorrow as the Bucks beat West Kelowna in their home opener 9-0
