The Vipers kept shooting, but the Mills goalie was on fire! Last night the Quesnel goalie saw almost 50 shots but he only let 1 in to have the game end in a 1-1 tie. The Vipers will now hit the road for the first of two games against the Westside Warriors, the second will be played at the Wesbild Centre on Saturday night at 7pm. Hopefully Vernon will be able to get more fans to the game to cheer on the snakes, there will be TONS of give aways at the game from Canada Safeway and On Side Restoration. Fans will have a chance to win gift baskets from On Side Restoration, one is valued at $350! And Safeway will be giving out tons of gift bags loaded with goodies! Bounce Hire will also be helping out with our 1st intermission which is guaranteed to give people a laugh!
Be sure to also get your raffle ticket to win a special edition Paint the Rink Pink Jersey, every $5 donation will get you 1 entry to win! The Vipers Pink Night is on October 24th at 2pm and there will also be a LIVE auction at the end of the game to get your hands on a Pink Jersey!
If you haven't already, make sure you purchase a ticket to the World Junior A Challenge exhibition game when Canada East takes on Canada West. It's a game where the best Junior A players in all of Canada will face off and showcase their talents. Ticket are only $10 each so there is no reason why you shouldn't take in this game brought in by Hockey Canada.
The Vipers are still working on finding the back of the net this season but every game has still been great entertainment. As the weather starts getting cool, hopefully the rink will get more fans in the seats! It would be great to see the people of Vernon come out to support a team that has always done their best to put a great product on the ice. The people of Vernon have to be proud of the 6 banners that hang in their arena, no other city in Canada has those bragging rights and as the team "re-loads" hopefully more fans can come out and cheer them on. If you ask any player on any team, they love to feed off the crowds energy, it is what makes playing at home an advantage! So the Vipers are trying, and they are often out playing their opponent, all they need now is some support and a full arena to give them that extra push. It's now finding the casual fans and getting them here! The Vipers have a fantastic core of die-hard fans, the best in the league, so spread the word, get into the game, support YOUR team and have fun, it's Canada's sport right in your back yard and there is no reason why the Wesbild Centre can't be sold out every night!
