Clippers come up short against Vernon at the BCHL Showcase
CHILLIWACK – A fantastic start for the Nanaimo Clippers but they fell short in a 6-3 loss to the Vernon Vipers on Friday.
Adam Pilotte scored just over a minute into the game but the Vipers got goals 1:40 apart half way through the first from Steven Jandric and Carter Stephenson to take a lead to the locker room.
Vernon extended the lead to 4-1 when Jandric scored again on the power play in the second, and Ryan Brushett dangled his way to the front of the net.
After a Clipper time out Matt Kowalski deflected a puck past Ty Taylor to cut the lead to 4-2.
