A win in Victoria will make the Vipers 1 Andrew Hammond G L/G 6’1” 195 02/11/1988 White Rock, B.C. the winningest team in National Junior A Championship 35 Graeme Gordon G L/G 6’2” 183 04/15/1989 North Vancouver, B.C. history. They currently have four national titles (1990, 1991, 1996, 1999), tied with the Prince Albert Raiders for the most 2 Kevin Kraus D L/G 6’2” 205 09/05/1989 Garden Grove, Calif., USA in history. The Vipers held off the 3 Kyle Bigos D R/D 6’5” 230 05/12/1989 Upland, Calif., USA to claim the Interior Conference’s regular season crown, and did it with a scoring-by-committee approach. Connor Jones 4 Cody Ikkala D L/G 6’1” 210 11/11/1988 Philadelphia, Penn., USA was the team’s leading scorer, just squeaking into the top 20 6 Mike Leidl D R/D 6’2” 210 01/18/1988 Fort St James, B.C. in BCHL scoring with 60 points. Connor’s twin brother Kellan 7 Cameron Brodie D R/D 6’1” 215 07/01/1988 White Rock, B.C. finished third with 52 points, giving the Vipers a deadly one- 24 Steve Weinstein D L/G 5’9” 165 08/13/1990 Los Angeles, Calif., USA two look-alike punch. Andrew Hammond was among the 25 Nick Amies D L/G 6’1” 180 07/25/1992 Enderby, B.C. league’s best netminders – his 2.30 goals against average was 28 Adam Thompson D R/D 6’1” 190 06/27/1990 Calgary, Alta. number one, while his .912 save percentage was third-best as Vernon allowed a league-low 145 goals in 60 games.

BCHL champions from Penticton in five games, setting up 11 Cory Kane F/A L/G 6’3’ 190 09/15/1990 Irvine, Calif., USA a conference final showdown with the Silverbacks. As they 12 Cole Ikkala F/A L/G 6’1” 195 07/27/1990 Philadelphia, Penn., USA did against the Vees, Vernon dropped Game 1 in overtime 14 Braden Pimm F/A L/G 6’0” 175 12/28/1989 Fort St. John, B.C. before rattling off back-to-back wins to take control of the 15 Kellen Jones F/A L/G 5’9” 165 08/16/1990 Montrose, B.C. series, and finished off the Silverbacks in six games to move 17 Sahir Gill F/A L/G 5’10” 180 04/21/1992 Terrace, B.C. into the BCHL final. The championship was a classic battle 18 Chris Crowell F/A R/D 6’0” 200 02/05/1989 Williams Lake, B.C. of offence vs. defence – the scored 251 20 Rob Short F/A R/D 6’0” 200 06/05/1989 Lumby, B.C. goals during the regular season, more than any BCHL team. But the Vipers smothered the Powell River offence in Games 23 Kory Roy F/A L/G 5’11” 189 03/10/1990 Anchorage, Alaska, USA 1 and 2, posting consecutive shutout victories, and, after 26 Bryce Kakoske F/A L/G 6’1” 200 04/27/1990 Vernon, B.C.
