For the second straight night, the Vernon Vipers will participate in a Teddy Bear Toss. This time it will be in Salmon Arm as the Silverbacks play host to the great event. It has felt like an eternity since these two teams last played November 1st in a very tight checking game. In all four meetings so far, the games have been very chippy as both teams don't seem to like each other very much. There are two very important points up for grabs as second in the division plays third in the division.
Here's the breakdown:
Season Series - September 13 - Salmon Arm 6 Vipers 1 - Shaw Centre
- September 14 - Salmon Arm 6 Vipers 5-2OT - Kal Tire Place
- October 5 - Vipers 3 Salmon Arm 2 - Shaw Centre
- November 1 - Vipers 2 Salmon Arm 1 - Kal Tire Place
