Vernon, BC:  The Vernon Vipers are thrilled to announce the addition of former NHL player Dean McAmmond as the team’s new Assistant Coach. McAmmond, who played over 1,000 games in the NHL, brings a wealth of experience and leadership to the Vipers.

“I am really excited about adding Dean to our staff,” said Lukas Lomicky, Head Coach of the Vernon Vipers. “He is, first and foremost, a first-class person. We are gaining someone who has played over 1,000 games in the NHL, and the experience that comes along with that is invaluable. He will provide our players and staff with the best tools to improve both individually and as a team. I can’t wait to continue working with Dean to help us in our push for the playoffs.”
