Game 23 Preview - Spruce Kings @ Vipers

The Vipers continue Parents Weekend with a Saturday Night matchup against the Prince George Spruce Kings.  Both teams are coming off impressive wins last night and look to build on that momentum.  Needless to say this could become a chippy affair as this is the first time these two teams have met since the Mark Hamilton/Jake LeBrun incident.  It could be a war, or it could be a well played game of hockey, either way it will be entertaining.
