Vegreville Vipers Conclude Operations — Players Continue Their Hockey Journeys with New Teams

Vegreville, AB — The Alberta Elite Junior Hockey League (AEJHL) today announces that the Vegreville Vipers will be folding effective immediately. While this marks the end of the team’s chapter in Vegreville, it also signals an exciting new beginning for its talented roster of players. 

All Vipers players have been successfully offered contracts to other AEJHL teams, ensuring that each athlete will continue to develop in the player-focused environment that they’ve come to thrive in. The team’s players will be back in action as early as this weekend, representing their new teams across the league.

“We are grateful to the community of Vegreville for supporting the Vipers and for embracing junior hockey in this region,” said the dedicated group of players, staff, and fans will not be forgotten, and we look forward to our players’ continued success in their new locations.”

The AEJHL remains committed to providing player development and competitive hockey across Alberta. While the Vipers’ tenure has come to an end, the league continues to look forward to welcoming their contributions to their new teams and the league as a whole.
