RBC Final

The Royal Bank Cup final was another low scoring, great game. Following last years 1-0 shutout win the Broncos were now the team suffering the shutout defeat, falling 2-0 at the hands of the Vernon Vipers on the strength of great goaltending by Andrew Hammond and timely goals by Braden Pimm and Kyle Bigos. Bigos' goal was especially beautiful as he went around 3 Broncos before sliding the puck beneath Broncos goalie Mathieu Larochelle.

Humboldt did put 1 puck past Hammond but it was quickly waved off, eventhough it should have been a goal. Bigos slid into the net and the big man knocked Hammond down and the net off its pegs.

Vernon is now the winningest franchise in Junior A hockey.

Congratulations to the Humboldt Broncos on a very successful season. You've made all SJHL fans proud.

Congratulations to the 2009 Royal Bank Cup champions, the Vernon Vipers. Very well deserved championship!
