Vipers take a bite out of Kings to close out opening weekend
Opening weekend in the North West Junior Hockey League 2018-2019 regular season came to a close Sunday afternoon.
The Sexsmith Vipers hosted the JDA County Kings, with the home side coming out on top with a 2-1 victory.
Kings Captain Austin Hrehoruk opened the scoring 1:57 into the 2nd period, but less than three minutes later the Vipers would even it up thanks to a marker from Blain Moskalyk.
The game-winner would come with 4:15 left in the middle stanza as Payton Lappenbush tickled the twine for his first of the campaign to put the Vipers on top 2-1.
