Its a new day in a new town as the Vernon Vipers carry a 5 game winning streak into Nanaimo tonight for a matchup against the Clippers. The Vipers are riding high after eeking out a 2-1 victory in Powell River the night before. The Clippers are a much different team than the Kings without a doubt. The Clippers score more and have former Vipers coach Mike Vandekamp at the helm so you know they're a tough team. Should be a great game from the Frank Crane Arena.
