Following a disappointing conclusion to the Vipers last game on Tuesday, a 5-3 defeat to West Kelowna, Vernon has had some time to practice, regroup and refocus for a matchup against the Merritt Centennials. Last season the Vipers had 2 wins, 2 losses, a tie and an overtime loss against the Cents.
Lets look and see how tonights game will break down.

I am quite confident that the coaching staff of the Vipers made life extremely difficult for the players as they were quite disappointed with the effort put forward in Tuesdays game. It will be interesting to see how they respond against a team who lost a tough game on home ice last night.
If you can't make it to Royal LePage Place tonight, you can catch all the action starting at 6:45 with the Coldstream Truck Parts Pre Game Show and all the play by play on Village Green Hotel Vipers hockey on 1075 KISSFM starting at 7.
