Game 13 Preview - Vipers @ Chiefs

It was an all around solid effort last night for the Vernon Vipers as they received contributions from their top scorers and their defense.  The Vipers would open up the first game of a home and home with Chilliwack with a 4-1 win.  Tonight the scene shifts to Chilliwack.  A place that hasn't been friendly to the Chiefs so far this season.  Vernon hopes to take the season series from the Chiefs tonight at the Prospera Centre.
