Vernon Hosts Langley (11-16-16)

The Vernon Vipers will end a modest 2 game home stand on Wednesday as they take on the Langley Rivermen for the first of 2 meetings in 11 days.  The Vipers are coming off a weekend split with the Penticton Vees that saw each team win on the road. The Vipers have been good at home ice this season, but have one win in their last 3 at Kal Tire Place.

Wins and losses have been consistently even all year long for the Snakes who will try get back to .500 when they face the Riv.
The Langley Rivermen come to town looking to remain perfect on a three-game road trip that has seen them victorious in Nanaimo (4-1) and Alberni Valley (7-0). Its been an up and down season for the Rivermen, but they seem to be turning it around with a record of 5-4-0-1 in their last 10 games.

Here’s the breakdown:
Record:
Vipers 10-11-2-0 (3rd in INT division)         Rivermen 8-11-3-0 (5th in MLD division)
