Roanoke Valley Vipers News Release
ROANOKE, VA - The Roanoke Valley Vipers, member of the United Hockey League (UHL), began their evening hopefully Wednesday at the Roanoke Civic Center as several players made their long-awaited returns from the injured reserve, and Shawn Conschafter made the start in net for the first time since January 21st.
Adirondack got on the board early with a goal from Frank Bakrlik at 2:18 of the first period. Branislav Kvetan evened the score for the Vipers at the 15:22 mark as the Vipers held on, but the Frostbite answered with two more in the second period. Jan Jas made the score 3-2 at 12:58 of the second, yet again the Frostbite responded loudly, scoring five consecutive goals on Conschafter and the Vipers defense.
Jonathan Charette made it 8-3 with a late goal at 19:06 of the third, but the damage had been done as the Vipers dropped their sixth straight in front of a crowd of 1,071.
