Vipers head coach Jason McKee says his team “played hard for each other.”

“I’m awfully proud of them. This is a good team (Wenatchee). They’e deep, and to win in five, the way we did, my hats off to the kids. They played hard. Anyone that follows the league knows the depth that team has, and we were able to match it.”

The Vipers will next take on the Penticton Vees, who finished first in the Interior Division and second overall in the league.

“Each round always gets more difficult. We know who we got. We’ve played them pretty well. That last one, I’m going to wipe that out (7-1 Penticton win Feb. 1). It was our fifth game in nine, and the team we are now is not the team we were then. We just have to play hard and see where it goes,” McKee told the Beach Radio post game show.
