Vipers still winless in BCHL exhibition season

The Vernon Vipers are still looking for their first win of the BCHL exhibition season while the Penticton Vees have yet to lose.

The Vees blanked the Vipers 4-0 before no fans at the South Okanagan Events Centre Wednesday night.

The Vees are now 5-0 while the Vipers are 0-3.

According to a game report from Graham Turnbull, the voice of the Vipers, the Snakes fired a couple of early strikes at the Vees goal, but Kaedan Lane was dialed in early and turned them aside including a great chance off Ethan Mercer. From their the Vees struck on the first of two powerplay goals as Quinn Hutson deposited a rebound behind Roan Clarke to make it 1-0.

Roan Clarke was a big story for his team as he turned aside a number of big saves including a five-alarm save on Ben Wozney. Turnovers cost the Vipers on the 2-0 goal as they lost the handle behind the net and Devlin O’Brien was the beneficiary. The Vees powerplay added another from Fin Williams to make it 3-0 at the intermission.
