The player must stay on this list for 30 days and can be replaced on the roster with another player. Revy Mack of the Vipers went on this list on September 14 and will remain there for 30 days and then either go back on for another 30 days or come back onto the roster and at that point the roster must be reduced. 30 days on the list must mean the injury is pretty bad. Here is the league's injured reserve list. <br /><br />https://bchl.ca/injured-reserve<br /><br /><br />Bob McInnesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3758343892805191083.post-53014327657573663202022-09-28T21:10:26.262-07:002022-09-28T21:10:26.262-07:00Excellent point Bob, certainly a consideration.

I enjoy your knowledgeable comments.<br /><br />I also think the Viper GM/owners are scrambling due to the 2 - 0 start and 3 tough games coming up. Major pressure on them to ice a respectable team asap.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3758343892805191083.post-89077330934440032622022-09-28T20:13:57.125-07:002022-09-28T20:13:57.125-07:00I believe that the maximum cash that a team can in...I believe that the maximum cash that a team can include in future considerations is $5000. Singleton is committed to North Dakota for next year. Has he ever lived away from home before? Calgary and Okotoks are about as far apart as Vernon and Lumby. I know in the past that a college coach suggested to a Junior A player that living away from home in his last year of junior would be a good idea before he made the move to NCAA hockey. Really. These are teenaged boys. The last thing a first year player at North Dakota needs is a case of homesickness on top of first year classes and competing for playing time.

In the one story you referenced, it says that he and the coach go back to grade 4, and Okotoks is rarely a slouch in the AJ…. So it had to have been quite the “future promise” or a huge chunk of cash. Desperate management.

Its early but the Vipers have struggled to score this season, and something needed to be done. Is Singleton the goal scorer the Vipers are looking for? Will we see more changes?<br /><br />After a very dismal and very disappointing season last year, the Vipers needed to put together a much better and competitive team this season. The Vipers need to get off to a good start this season and starting the 2022-23 season 0-2 isn't good. I truly think Jason McKee's job is on the line. The Vipers first ten or so games are very crucial. Vernon can't afford to lose more games than they win, not only will they have a very difficult time trying to catch teams in the standings as the season progresses, but they will lose fans/season ticket holders. <br /><br />The Vipers next three games will be huge. Prince George is 2-0 and then Salmon Arm returns to Vernon the following weekend. Can you imagine if the Vipers start the season 0-5?<br />vipersdiehardfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17917214606291534493noreply@blogger.com
