Don Klepp - Mar 29, 2009 CASTANET:
Another strong performance by Andrew Hammond and three goals by Connor Jones led the Vernon Vipers to a 3-1 victory in Salmon Arm on Saturday. After winning the Interior Division series 4 games to 2, the Vipers await the winners of the Victoria/Powell River Coastal series, which will be decided in a seventh game in Victoria on Tuesday. BCHL Commissioner John Grisdale presented the Ryan Hatfield trophy to Captain Chris Crowell who politely accepted the heavy piece of silverware on behalf of the Vipers and then promptly handed it over to an attendant, before joining his team mates for a salute to the Viper fans in attendance. Clearly, the Vipers feel they have unfinished business, the BCHL league championship series.
GAME NOTES:
The three stars were 1.) Connor Jones, 2.) Bryan Gillis, and 3.) Andrew Hammond.
Connor Jones now leads Viper playoff goal scoring with seven goals, and is tied with brother Kellen for the playoff points lead (13).
In the 41 games where the Vipers have taken a lead into the third period this season, they have a record of 39 wins, no regulation losses, one tie, and one overtime loss.
