Former Viper Will Schumacher also had 4 points last night in Victoria's 6-5 loss to Cowichan. I watched this game and it was one of the worst refereed games of the year. Victoria leads the series 3-1. Another former Viper, Sam Ward, has looked really good on Victoria's defense.

Another point about Luke Bibby is that in the last week he landed a scholarship to Minnesota-Duluth. Luke scored over a point per game for the regular season and he's continuing in the playoffs.

Why is that once players leave the Vipers they excel on the new team?

If that isn’t the best reason to make a coaching change, I don’t know what is. If you look at all of the guys who left in the first couple of months, they all excelled after leaving. If a coaching change isn’t made, it will be worse next season, no doubt about it. So, if the management does not care, why should loyal fans? Spend your hard earned money elsewhere!!

Haha... exactly what we have been asking all year. Simple answer is Vipers have decent scouts but the management/coaching has no clue how to utilize the talent. Now that no high end players will consider coming here the revolving door mentality will continue. Close to 60 players wore the Viper jersey last year but with a little effort I think we can surpass that number in the coming year. Completely incompetence!!!

COACHING ??? WE NEED A CHANGE. COACH'S WHO LEARN ON THE FLY IS NOT WHAT WE NEED. WE NEED A EXPERIENCED COACH FOR SUCCESS.

Unfortunately, as the old saying goes, you can’t make chicken salad out of chicken s@&t, and with no signings and no apparent effort to get some talent, it may not matter who the coach is at this point. If the spring camp was postponed due to lack of interest, that is a big, bad indicator. So sad!
