Fans may question why there are so many empty seats in the Wesbild Centre during home games, but there was no question as to who had more fans on the road this year! Viper fans car pooled with neighbors, friends, family and anyone they bumped into to fill a lot of seats at the SOEC in Penticton Tuesday night. The crew from Silver Star grabbed their token yellow hard hats and fans grabbed any noise maker they could and the Viper fans were loud and proud through the whole game.
"Win or lose we are here to support our players" one fan commented. And even when security tried to move the Aussies from their seats Viper fans came down to ensure they should be able to sit where they were. "The Aussies moved closer to all the other Viper fans and security tried to make them move but the whole bottom section was empty before they came and we wanted them there!" Throughout the night the chant of "Go Vipers Go" could be heard and made you proud to be a Vipers fan.
"If only we could convince everyone in Vernon what they are missing! This series is one of the best I've seen in years. Both teams are so fast and skilled, it's really amazing to watch"
Vipers will now take the ice again at the Wesbild Centre on Friday night and tickets are on sale now at the Vipers office. Be sure to pack the pit and see what everyone is talking about as the two top teams in Canada battle it out for the Interior Championship.
