Its the third meeting of the season between the West Kelowna Warriors and the Vernon Vipers. Each team has a win with both teams looking good in those victories. This is an important game as the Vipers look to put some distance between themselves and the other teams in the division. While the Warriors try to end November on a good note after struggling early in the month. The Snakes are coming off a very good performance in Trail after a 4-1 win. The Warriors played a solid game, but ran into a hot goaltender and despite putting 61 shots on goal fell 6-3.
