The Story Of Lyman (Hick) Abbott:

This is the story of Lyman (Hick) Abbott, a fine young athlete who

lost his life in the First World War and the story about the Abbott Cup. 

The Vernon Lakers-Vernon Vipers won the Abbott Cup four times (1989, 1991, 1992 & 1999)

Lyman (Hick) Abbott was remembered June 13th 2014 when he was among the 2014 inductees into the Saskatchewan Sports Hall of Fame in Regina. Abbott's first World War medals were entered into the Hockey Hall of Fame December 14th 2014.

The Abbott Memorial Cup, commonly reffered to as the Abbott Cup, was awarded annually from 1919 through 1999 to the Junior A Champion for Western Canada was awarded following a round-robin game between the two western teams at the Centennial Cup. The last Junior A hockey team to win the Abbott Cup was the 1998-99 Vernon Vipers.

The Cup was named after Captain E.L. (Hick) Abbott who was a noted hockey player in Western Canada. He captained the Regina Victorias when it won the Junior Championship of Canada in 1913 & 1914. Captain Abbott died in active service in the first World War and the trophy was presented in his memory in 1919 by the Saskatchewan Amateur Hockey Association.

Game Recap: Spruce Grove Saints 3 Vernon Vipers 2

I was born and raised in Vernon, BC and been watching/following junior hockey in Vernon my entire life. My family watched senior men's hockey in Vernon in the 1950's and has been watching/following junior hockey in Vernon since getting a team in 1961. I have two family members that played junior hockey in Vernon. I have had season tickets since 1990, missing 40 home games. I started and created this blog in 2008 and have over 5.7 million viewers.

I was at tonight's Vernon Vipers-Spruce Grove Saints game as the Saints won 3-2 in front of 2,207 fans at Kal Tire Place.

Starting Goaltenders:

Vernon Vipers: Oliver Kanat
Spruce Grove Saints: Joseph Quintilio

1st Period: The visiting Spruce Grove Saints were the better team in the opening period. Spruce Grove jumped on an early power play just over two minutes into the hockey game after Brendan Russell was given a five minute major and a game misconduct for charging. The Saints would score just eight seconds into the PP. Spruce Grove carried the better of the play for a lot of the period. The Saints are a quick puck moving team, that gets up the ice in a flash, can pass, make plays and generate offence quickly. I liked Spruce Grove's game. The Snakes were forced to kill off a major early to start the contest and never recovered. Vernon trailed and fell down 3-1. I thought the Snakes would seem to get going in the second half and have a few very good shifts with some pressure, with good looks. This was a bit of a chippy period as both teams didn't like each other with some after the whistle activities. It was 3-1 Spruce Grove after 20 minutes of play. Shots were 17-12 Saints.

2nd Period: The hometown Vipers responded with a good effort in a period where they played very well and held a slight edge in play. Vernon looked good off the opening faceoff, had lot's of zone time, pressure and created/generated chances. The Saints also played well in a period that looked pretty even at times. Spruce Grove's fourth goal was waived off after a hand pass. The Saints didn't get as many opportunities or pucks to the net. It was 3-2 Spruce Grove after 40 minutes of play. Shots were 13-8 Vipers.
