It would be wise for the Vernon Vipers to put last night behind them and have a short memory. However, it is necessary to greatly improve on the performance the Vipers had last night. The coaching staff was very unhappy with the effort level and of course the results. They will expect an improved Viper squad and we should see that tonight in Salmon Arm.

A big effort is required tonight. The Silverbacks are coming off a very impressive showing last night defeating the Penticton Vees 5-2. The Backs have owned the Vipers of late and a victory tonight would go a long way for confidence. Technically the Vipers are in the Interior Division basement, but the division is so close, the Vipers are just 2 points out of a playoff spot.
You can catch the action from the Shaw Centre with the pre game show at 6:45 and the play by play starting at 7 on 1075 KISSFM.
