The status of the Vernon Vipers’ scheduled game in flood-ravaged Merritt on Friday, Nov. 19, is still uncertain.

Vipers vice president Todd Miller said they are still awaiting word from the BC Hockey League.

Vernon Matters contacted the BCHL for an update.

“We are still working out some logistics and will have an announcement by tomorrow morning (Thursday) at the latest,” said Jesse Adamson, manager of communications & events.

The Vipers will host the Salmon Arm Silverbacks tonight at Kal Tire Place.
