  3. Trail has a very good team like penticton who also has a very good team and west kelowna beat penticton 3 to 0 . I think it is possible if our goaltender has a good game and the vipers avoid penalties as much as possible we can beat Trail by 4 to 2 Vernon vipers. go, vipers,go.

  4. Tonight will be a tough game. When your below 500 and only have five wins this season, all the games are tough. The Smoke Eaters beat the Vipers on opening night 5-3 in Trail. The Smokies can put the puck in the net, are third in scoring in the Interior Conference. The Vipers went winless in there first six games, have made a ton of roster moves but have improved and playing there best hockey of the season the last three weeks or so.

    Go Vipers Go!

  5. Way too much passing of the puck when close to the net. Just shoot the puck. Drive the net and see what happens. Better to have an offensive face off than the puck in our net!! Come on Vipers, you’re better than this!!
