The Vernon Vipers have already loaded onto their bus and are heading to Powell River. The long bus trip that includes 2 ferry rides started at about noon on Wednesday for the Vipers and they will play two games on the coast on Friday and Saturday night. The Vipers all watched game 7 of the coastal finals on Tuesday night waiting to see if they would be facing the Victoria Grizzlies or the Powell River Kings and after letting Victoria win 2 in a row the Kings finished the series with a 4-1 win in Victoria. The Vipers will play back in Vernon on Tuesday and Wednesday night next week and tickets are on sale now. If necessary games 5 and 7 would take place in Powell River on the 10th and 14th of April and game 6 would be in Vernon on Sunday April 12th. It is set to be a very intense series with the Kings finishing the regular season first in their division and also having one of the best offensive teams in the league and Vernon having one of the best defensive teams! All hockey fans should get their tickets early to grab a great seat and come out and watch the BCHL Finals!! As for the Vipers, the guys that were out last series were able to rest and should be ready to roll for the finals.
