I have had season tickets since 1990 and been following/watching junior hockey in Vernon most of my life.
I stopped by Kal Tire Place North this morning to check out Day 3 from Vipers training camp.
This morning saw Team Red defeat Team Yellow 6-2 Nathaniel Harvey who was injured yesterday was back on the ice today.
The second and final scrimmage of the morning saw Team Black defeat Team Yellow 4-3 in a shootout.
I thought both scrimmages had lots of intensity with some players getting in the mix in some heated moments. I didn't notice as much skill today but the size and speed was still there. Lot's of compete and players battling for roster spots.
News & Notes:
Talking with some people today, reports were more players were coming into town later today, while some players from last year's team, are away attending WHL training camps
I also heard cuts were going to be made at some point today
All in all the vibes for the last three days were very, very positive, looking with excitement to the start of regular season!
ReplyDeleteI was at practice this morning and heard 10 players were cut yesterday
ReplyDeleteKarl, you missed a great scrimmage, pulled goalie to tie and three on three for the win, was fun to watch!
