The Vernon Vipers look to start December the way November ended, with a complete sixty minute effort. Of course a win wouldn't hurt either. The Snakes continue to flip flop with the Penticton Vees atop the division and that is fully expected to continue throughout the rest of 2013 and into 2014. The opponent to kick off December is the Trail Smoke Eaters. The Smokies come in having lost three in a row including a 4-1 loss to the Vipers a little over a week ago. In the span of a week the Smokies have gone through more big changes trading Mike Roberts, Valik Chichkin and goaltender Riley Corbin.
