Anthony Manfredi played well, made two huge saves. Very quick on his feet.
Kevin Kraus looks like he has put on some size. Played very well on the blueline. Played with an edge, getting in guys faces. Tried dropping the gloves with a few players. Looked very good with the puck at both ends of the rink. Skated well all game.
Mike Collins (1 Goal & 2 Assists) Played very good. I have liked this kid all camp. Has some size, looks like he can put the puck in the net, always buzzing around the net. Good hands in close.
Braden Pimm (2 Goals) Looked very good tonight. Always around the goal.Cole Ikkala has some size, and looks pretty good. The younger brother of Viper Cody.
Ryan Farghar allowed 3 Goals but played well. I have been very impressed all camp with this Goaltender. Looks very confident between the pipes. Handles the puck well, plays his position well.
PJ Musico This was the first time I have got to watch this kid. Very good down low, quick and looks confident. Looked very strong in the 3rd & during the Shhot-Out. Could challenge for the backup job.
Bryan Elser looked good at times. Got involved into the rush a few times. A bigger D-man who can skate and handle the puck well. Just hasnt played a full game, has showen signs of some talent.

Everything Quiet In Viperland:
August 17 2008 at 9:13 AM
This is in todays Morning Star Newspaper:
As far as off seasons go, life in Viperland has been about as quiet as it gets. While other B.C. Hockey League teams have been wheeling and dealing, the Vernon Vipers have flown below the radar. Their three commitments-to Midget defenceman Adam Thompson & forward Barry Switzer of the Calgary Buffaloes, and to Steven Weinstein of the Los Angeles Selects were announced in the spring, and since then, not a peep. While this lack of news might be driving the Viper faithful crazy with anxiety, there is a sound theory behind head coach Mark Ferner's approach. While some teams have made the majority of their commitments, and all but inked in their starting rosters, Ferner is intent on watching the 75 invites (including 15 returning players and eight goalies) battle for spots at the Viper's main camp, wich starts Tuesday at Wesbild Centre. "We've convinced players to come out and make our hockey team," said Ferner. "I have to be loyal to those players that were here last year, but if we have a player that comes in and does better, we have to do the right thing. We're going to put the best team on the ice, regardless of where they came from, or where they played last year. "There are going to be some veterans on our team that'll get pushed really hard, wich is what camps should be about. We want it to be a very competetive training camp." Fans will get the chance to see the Viper hopefuls at the annual Blue and White intra-squad game Saturday night (7pm) at the Wesbild Centre. Admission is $2. The Snakes will then play a pair of exibition games against the Salmon Arm Silverbacks. The first one goes Saturday, Aug. 30 at the Sunwave Centre, and the other goes Sunday, Aug. 31 at the Revekstoke Forum.Ferner learned a lesson from last years camp when the Vipers invited just 40 players. "We didnt have enough players to fill a 23-man roster," said Ferner, adding some of those 40 players wern't even eligible to play in the BCHL. "We took a different approach this year because we don't want to get caught in the same situation." With netminder Lucas Gore expected to make another bid to play with the Chilliwack Bruins, Andrew Hammond, 20, who was picked up from the Surrey Eagles at last season's trade deadline, will look to cement his starter status. He went 21-17-1 with a 3.19 GAA and .899 save percentage. Hammond could be pressed by Anthony Manfredi (14-4-1) of the Kamlopps Storm, whose 2.28 GAA led the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League. Ryan Faragher (13-17-2), who posted a 3.71 GAA. and .896 save percentage with the Fort Frances Junior Sabres of the Superior International Junior Hockey League, will also be in the hunt for a roster spot.With the loss of Viper grad Hunter Bishop (scholarship with the Ohio State Buckeyes), who led the Snakes with 57 goals and 40 assists in 60 games, his former linemates, twins Connor and Kellen Jones, who turned 18 on Saturday, will be looked to fill the offensive void. However, Kellen broke his collar bone when he took a foul tip while catching for the Trail Jays of the American Legion Baseball League. According to Ferner, Kellen will likely take it easy at training camp (if he skates at all), but anticipates him being ready for the regular season.Other notable returning forwards include Braden Pimm, Rob Short, Chris Crowell, John Digness and Dallas Goodrunning. Forward Ryan Santana, who split last season between the Des Moines Buccaneers of the U.S. Hockey League and Fairbanks Ice Dogs of the North American Hockey League, will look to lock up one of the Viper's 20-year old cards. Kyle Bigos, who devoted his summer to an off-season training program (he's walking into camp 20 pounds lighter than last year), Kevin Kraus, Cody Ikkala, Justin Palazzo and Steve Tresierra will look to retain their positions on the blueline.

Bigos Gets Scholarship:
This is in todays Morning Star Newspaper:Thunderbirds welcome Kakoske to UBC By Graeme Corbett - Vernon Morning StarPublished: July 10, 2008 6:00 PMWhen Ryan Kakoske was first called up to the Vernon Vipers as an 18-year-old affiliate in the 2005-06 season, current captain Chris Crowell remembers wondering whether he would ever fit the mold of a B.C. Hockey League defenceman.After three years of playing alongside Kakoske and witnessing his transformation into a rock-steady blueliner, there’s no doubt in Crowell’s mind.“He’s gone from barely being able to hold his own in junior hockey to becoming our most reliable defenceman,” said Crowell. “It’s not a fluke to see how he progressed, it was through hard work. There’s not a lot of flash, but he’s a strong, shutdown defenceman, and he’s a great guy to play with.”The Vipers started last season with a rookie-laden blueline, and if it weren’t for Kakoske’s veteran presence, opposing teams would have had an easy time picking the Snakes apart.Kakoske’s no-nonsense style grabbed the attention of the UBC Thunderbirds head coach Milan Dragicevic, who offered the 6-foot-2, 200-pound Vernon minor hockey product a scholarship to play with them this fall.“We are happy to add Ryan to our team at UBC,” said Dragicevic. “He will bring character, size and a winning attitude to our team. Anytime you can add a player of Ryan’s stature, it makes your team that much tougher to play against.”Added Crowell: “It’s good to see him get something. With UBC’s hockey program, their academics, the Olympics coming to Vancouver… it’s a good decision.”In 60 games last season, Kakoske fired two goals and supplied 16 helpers with 64 penalty minutes. He recorded 27 points and 132 PIM in 151 BCHL games.He played in all situations and did many little things that often don’t show up on the score sheet. When Crowell had to miss games due to a suspension, Kakoske was the logical choice to wear the ‘C’.Kakoske recently received the Mark Nelson Memorial Award, which is annually presented to a local athlete who shows perseverence and excellence.“Marty Stein (Detroit Red Wings scout) got my name out there for them (UBC) to see,” said Kakoske, who visited the UBC campus in May before reaching his decision last month. “In the end, I felt the quality if hockey was better in the CIS than NCAA Division 3, and there aren’t many schools better than UBC academically.“I’m looking forward to testing myself against the Western (Hockey) League guys.”There’ll be at least one familiar face on the T-Birds’ roster since his cousin, Jordan Inglis of 100 Mile Ranch, will play with UBC. Inglis, who played for Prince George Spruce Kings and Cowichan Valley Capitals of the BCHL, played with the Wayne State University Warriors last season, but their hockey program folded.Kakoske, who will live in residence this fall, plans to start an economics program and then switch into business.Meanwhile, he’s spending the summer working as a landscaper and, as always, putting his time in at the gym. He’ll also be lending his defensive expertise to the next generation of would-be Vipers at Vernon minor hockey’s summer camps.

Bigos gets scholarship
By Graeme Corbett - Vernon Morning Star - July 03, 2008
Vernon Vipers’ defenceman Kyle Bigos has played hockey all over North America. He can add another destination to the list now he’s accepted a scholarship to play with the Merrimack College Warriors for the 2010-2011 season.In 58 B.C. Hockey League games last season, the Upland, Calif. import earned two goals and 15 assists while piling up 152 penalty minutes. As the season progressed, he learned to become an effective enforcer while providing a steady presence on the blueline. Bigos also worked diligently on his foot speed, often staying after practice with the other Viper d-men to take part in extra skating drills. The organization recognized his hard work by naming him Most Improved Player.“He worked hard at it, and he really improved,” said head coach Mark Ferner. “He’s such a big body, and he has a presence on the ice, but he’s also got good hands and vision. That’s not something you would normally see in a player of his size.”Bigos is also paying closer attention to conditioning this season. He struggled a bit coming into last year’s camp at around 250 pounds. With the help of a new off-season conditioning program, Bigos is working towards a six percent body fat index, which would put him at around 225 pounds.“I started cutting weight up there last year, and things became easier,” said Bigos, who turned 19 in May.Before coming to Vernon, Bigos played Midget AAA with the Notre Dame Hounds of Wilcox, Sask., so being away from home is nothing new to the big man. Although, he does admit to missing Mexican food while he’s away.“It’s nothing I can’t handle,” said Bigos. “I’ve been away for a while now, and it’s just another chance to play hockey and get more education.”The Warriors, who play Division 1 NCAA hockey out North Andover, Mass., just a short drive from downtown Boston, finished last in the Hockey East Conference with 6-18-3.“Knowing that it was a small, private Catholic school was a huge plus for me,” said Bigos.Added Ferner: “He had some offers from other schools, but Kyle felt this one was his best option.”With Viper defensive grads Ryan Kakoske and Isaac Smeltzer moving on, Bigos is looking forward to carrying more responsibility on his considerable shoulders. Ferner plans to play him more often and in all situations over the next two seasons.“Smeltzer and Kakoske were huge leaders for us on the backend, and I’m looking forward to stepping into that role this year,” said Bigos. “I’m looking forward to making a big impact on the D this year, and trying to take us to the RBC (Royal Bank Cup),” Bigos will return to Vernon at the end of July, where the Jones twins, Connor and Kellen, Braden Pimm and Rob Short will join him for some additional training before the Vipers’ main camp, which goes Aug. 19.
