NANAIMO – The Clippers ended the Vernon Vipers seven game winning streak with a 5-0 victory at Frank Crane Arena.

Nanaimo’s offense was strong in the first period with goals by Kyler Kovich, Travis Walton, and the first BCHL tally by Cade Cavallini.

From there the Clippers managed the game extremely well and added third period markers by Ethan Scardina on the power play, and Steven Agriogianis.

The Clippers outshot Vernon 32-24 and upped their record to 11-5-1-1.
