Vipers Up 3 Games To 1

After a devastating overtime loss on Tuesday night the Vipers came back on Wednesday night to win their own overtime game, 3-2. Wednesday night game was decided in the 3rd overtime by Sahir Gill after he scored an amazing goal to finally beat Powell Rivers goaltender Carsen Chubak. When it was all said and done the Vipers took 70 shots at the Kings net with only 3 going in....hats off to their net minder. On the other end of the rink Andrew Hammond was just as stellar for the Vipers, making unbelievable saves and keeping our boys in the game and out of trouble. Great news is the Vipers lead the series 3-1, bad news they are already on a bus heading back to Powell River for a game 5 on Friday night. Wednesday nights game was by far the most exciting, thrilling, intense game that I have seen in a very, very long time!!!! Both teams were strong offensively and defensively and were both determined to win. Game five should be another excellent playoff hockey game with the Kings in a "do-or-die" situation. I will be here cheering as loud as I can and hoping to see the Vipers come home with the Fred Page Cup!

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO VIPERS!!!!

Vipers Take Game 1 & 2

The Vipers were in Powell River for games one and two of the BCHL Finals and came back with two wins! Friday night Vernon won 4-0 and on Saturday night they had another shut-out this time winning 3-0. Its was a great way to start the series and now its time to play in the Den! Games 3 and 4 take place in Vernon on Tuesday and Wednesday. This is what hockey fans wait all season for! Vernon doesn't want to make another trip to Powell River so they will be working hard to take the next two games. But don't think Powell River is throwing in the towel anytime soon. The high flying offensive coastal champions will be finding a way to get past the Vipers Defense and get back there top scoring power play unit.

Both games will be fast and furious and definitely super exciting! With the BCHL Fred Page Cup on the line, this is hockey you DO NOT want to miss! Can't wait to see another packed Vipers pit, so get your tickets right away!!!!

Vipers Take On Kings

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.
