The Vernon Vipers have faced some big tests so far this season. Tonight may be the toughest. The Island Division leading Powell River Kings welcome in the Snakes for a battle of hot teams. The Vipers come in having won 4 in a row and the Kings have won 10 of 12 and have points in 11 of those 12 games. Powell River is never an easy place to play and the Vipers will have their work cut out for them.
