The Vernon Vipers have hit the road to the provincial capital getting set to kick off their final Island road swing of the season. On the previous trip the Vipers took two of three, which is always a nice feeling against some competitive teams. The competition will be high tonight as the Vipers will face the Victoria Grizzlies for the second and final time. The last time these two teams met it was a high scoring entertaining affair that saw the Grizzlies win in double OT in the final few seconds. The Snakes will look for a little redemption at the Bear Mountain Arena.
