Vipers capture second-straight HJHL title
The Red Deer Vipers are celebrating back-to-back Heritage Junior Hockey League titles.
This after a 4-2 victory in game three of their best-of-three league final series against the Coaldale Copperheads at the Servus Arena in Red Deer Sunday night.
The first period saw Coaldale get on the board first in this one however, as Ryan Tessemaker got one past Vipers netminder Branden Bilodeau at 7:25 to make it 1-0 Copperheads.
Red Deer responded before the period expired though as Ben Shushkovsky scored on the power play at 19:14 to even things back up heading into the first intermission.
