Vipers fold for this season

Ray Tremblay: Vipers' Website

The Vipers executive, of which I am a member, have taken the decision to terminate the Vipers' season following the unfortunate situation that arose due to a shortage of players for Saturday's game in Slave Lake. Since we could not meet the required minimum of 13 players for a play-off game, the game had to be forfeited. League rules stipulate that forfeiting a play-off game results in a $1500.00 fine to the guilty team. This fine, along with the uncertainty of having enough players for next Saturday's game in Slave Lake were the determining factors leading to the executive's decision.

We thank the players and the fans for a good season and hopefully the Vipers will be back next year.

IN MEMORY

Feb 2nd 2012

It is with deep sorrow that we have heard of the sudden passing of one of our former players and friend, Chad Janke. Chad played for the Vipers for the 2006-2007 season and is remembered for his good hands and hard shot. He was always a menace down the wing, to the opposing team. Previously to playing with us, Chad performed with brilliancy for the Westlock Warriors. He was a strong acquisition for the Vipers and he will linger in our thoughts for a long time.

Our most sincere condolences go to Chad's family and friends. Our thoughts and prayers are with you in this most difficult time.

P.S. Playoffs start this week-end. Check Schedule page. It is important that we get a good player turnout for this game. We can go a long way in these playoffs, we have the team to do it but we can't win with a short bench. We depend on you the players to be there whether you play or not. Morale support can play a strong role in the next few games! "Esprit de corps" Go Vipers Go!

Ray & Yvonne DeChamplain Pass the Reins on!

Soar to Score Winner

The happy winner of the Soar to Score Contest is Rowan Ozipko of Legal. Seen on the photgraph to the right is George Prefontaine and Maurice Touchette making the presentation to Rowan. The Soar to score contest's final competition took place after the second period of the Vipers game last night. Rowan turned out to be the lucky winner however one has to wonder if Dad is not going to enjoy the beautiful remote control helicopter as much as Rowan. Well someone has to teach her how to operate the craft. Right Graig?

The Vipers wish to thank all the participants, winners and non-winner, over the season and wish everyone best of luck for next year's contest. Special thanks also to Suzanne Prefontaine who spearheaded the contest and presided over it from start to end. Thank you Suzanne for your continued efforts throughout the season.

Important Notice for Vipers'Players and Fans

Ray Tremblay: Vipers Website

It is increasingly difficult to find people to work at the Vipers hockey games. People to work at the gate, sell 50/50 tickets, soar to score tickets, man the penalty box, operate the clock and do the game sheet are greatly needed. The people who normally do it, would appreciate some relief once in a while. New people need to show up if the Vipers are to survive and be back next year.

In the past, the volonteers were friends or relatives of the players or simply people whose love for the game brought them in to help. This group seems to dwindle from year to year and unless the number start to increase soon, the Vipers will have a hard time to continue.

The Vipers are here and we would like to keep them here in the years to come. It is known that some of the present organizers are retiring next year. These "behind the scene" people are essential for the Vipers to prosper and need to be replaced now or very soon. Much work must be done over the summer. A new executive as to be formed in order for that to occur. It is not too late yet but whomever is interested in keeping the team, needs to step forward soon. Many teams have folded in the last few years. Let's make sure now, or very soon, that the Vipers will not be the next team to go!

Happy New Year from the Legal Vipers

Ray Tremblay: Vipers' Website

The Legal Vipers will resume action this coming week-end in Hinton. This is the second encounter between these two teams, with the Vipers taking the first game by a score of 13 to 4. Hinton at home however, may produce different results. The defeat in Legal back on October 22nd will certainly motivate the team in an effort to punish the Snakes. The Vipers, on the otherhand, who did not experience an easy pre-Christmas season and who are presently at 6 - 9, will attempt to turn things around and make this the first win in a series of victory heading in the post season. So stay tune the remainder of the season should prove most interesting.

Attention! Attention! Free Admission!

" Special offer! The French Association of Centralta has offered to pay admission to all its members to attend the Vipers last two home games. Yes free admission to all members of L'ACFA Centralta. Denis Caron, a strong Vipers' supporter and president of the Association, made the annoucement last week in a communique addressed to the Vipers' Organisation and the Vipers' Website. We wish to thank the ACFA for its generosity and we are pleased to transmit this message to you with the hope we will see you, in large numbers, at the game on January 14th 2012. Incidently, this offer coincides with the Jan 14th Fan Appreciation Night planned by the Vipers. Hey fans, see you at those two important Denis Caron
games!

Vipers win a close one against the Edson Ice

Ray Tremblay: Vipers website

Good evening everyone. The Vipers tonight came from behind in the third period to defeat the Edson Ice by a score of 6 to 5. The win was the Vipers second win in the last three games and even though the victory was ardous the Vipers showed a lot of character coming back from behind twice to take the much needed two points.

The Vipers opened the scoring early in the first period scoring two unanswered goals only to see their lead disappear with less than a minute and forty seven seconds left in the opening frame when the Ice scored three goals. After one: Ice 3 Vipers 2.

In the second period the Vipers with a goal from Mark Nysetvold at 12:56 even the chances but once again the Ice managed to regain the lead with 2:27 minutes left in the period. The score after two: Vipers 3 Ice 4.

The third period started on a bad note for the Vipers as the Ice increased their lead to two goals at the 18:18 minute mark. However this is where the Ice scoring story ends. At the 14:07 mark, the Vipers cut the Ices' lead to one with a goal from newcomer Zeke Humte assisted by Adam Gialet and Sunny Budreault. Less than two minutes later Josh Schellenberg even the score with a helper going to Ryan Ternowski. Finally at 7:25 Shawn Witchen gave the lead to the Vipers, a lead they never relinguished even while playing short handed in the last minute of the game.

The victory improves the Vipers record to 6 and 9 with five games remaining in the season.

Ray Tremblay: Vipers' Web Site
This should be a good game! The Wild Cats have not tasted defeat yet this season and the Vipers are coming back from a big overtime victory against the Slave Lake Winter Hawks last week-end. The Vipers would very much like to put an end to the Wild Cats winning streak and simultaneously jump ahead of the Slave Lake Winter Hawks in the standings (assuming, of course, the Hawks lose to Edson).

Insidently, the rivalry between the Legal Vipers and the Slave lake Hawks intensify season after season and game after game. And this is about to get even better as the Vipers and Hawks meet six times this season, with two games this coming week-end. The two teams face off against each other in back to back / home and home series. The Vipers will travel to Slave Lake Friday night, and they will play host to the Hawks the following day in Legal. Game time 8:30 p.m. This is a must!!!
