LaSalle Vipers comeback

On Wednesday Oct. 29, the LaSalle Vipers came back winning 3-2 against the Strathroy Rockets at the Vollmer Recreation Complex in LaSalle.

 

The Vipers were losing 2-1, with only one goal from Brett Primeau, but the Vipers made a comeback with two goals from Brett Primeau, giving him his first Junior B hat-trick.

“It feels good I felt like I got a lot of chances today and I found the puck just came to me a lot so it was good to get three goals and to get the win.” said Primeau

The Vipers won the game but possibly lost two more players to injuries.  It is still unknown if forward Tyler Russell and defenceman Nick Gauvin were left with injuries or not.  They both received head checks in the game, Russell continued to play, but Gauvin had to leave the ice.

“It was a really group effort to find a way to come back two points.  I don’t think we deserved that win.  I thought Strathroy played an excellent game but throughout the course of the year you going to win games you might not deserve and vice versa,” said Bill Bowler head coach of the Vipers.  “So let’s just take the win and hopefully build on.  Brett Primeau had a real strong game.  He was obviously the difference for our hockey club.  Brett has been doing it all year and we kind of expect that now of him so hopefully tomorrow night some of our other guys will with the puck in.”

The Vipers next home game is Wednesday Nov. 5, for their Remembrance Day game.
