Hello Viper fans! It’s been a busy week for us and we are only 8 games away from playoffs. We started off last week with a tough loss to Salmon Arm on Tuesday, but we responded this weekend with two overtime wins against Prince George and Trail. We have certainly seen our fair share of overtime games this year and it was really big for our team to win both this past weekend. With the race for first in the Interior as tight as it is, we definitely realize that every point is extremely important.
Besides the games, we were also very busy off the ice this past week. On Wednesday, six of us helped out at the Wendy’s Dreamlift Day. It was a great experience for all of us who got volunteer at the Wendy’s here in Vernon. We were all happy to hear that over $109,000 was raised to send the children to Disney Land this year. Also, Bryce Kakoske and I visited Alexis Park Elementary School on Thursday. We started off playing soccer with the third graders at recess. Unfortunately, Bryce had done some scouting on the third graders and he picked the winning team. After recess, Bryce and I visited Ms. Dion’s fifth grade class to read with some of the kids. We both had a great time over at Alexis Park and we plan on making another trip over there later in the week.
This week we play on Wednesday and Friday against Coastal teams Nanaimo and Alberni Valley and then on Saturday against Penticton. It will be another big week for our team as we near the end of the regular season. We hope to see all of you at the games this week!
